How Do I Handle Public Holidays During An Annual Closedown?

Public holidays during an annual closedown are not deducted from Annual Holidays if they fall on otherwise working days for the employee.

1. Split the closedown period into Annual Holidays, Public Holidays, and any unpaid days.
2. Enter Public Holiday rows for payable public holidays during the closedown.
3. Enter Annual Holidays only for the annual holiday days actually deducted.
4. If the employee has not yet become entitled to annual holidays, confirm whether holiday pay, leave in advance, or unpaid leave applies.

Closedowns are high-risk around Christmas and New Year because multiple public holidays can fall inside the closedown period.
