Paid leave over Public Holiday

Discussions in this thread will be monitored to ensure adherence to our Community Guidelines

How are you dealing with the pop-up in HR21 when an employee starts or ends their leave on a public holiday and the pop-up/system is deducting annual leave instead of public holiday payment. i.e. have you amended the words in the pop-up or does your Payroll team do a manual workaround. Pop-up mentions "Warning - 21/04/2025 is a public holiday. It will be treated as a day of leave, rather than a public holiday. Do you wish to proceed?" and if the employee proceeds with the application they get annual leave deducted from their balance instead of a public holiday payment.

Hello,

At face value, this seems very easy, however I must caution that leave processing relies on other linked forms and tables working together. Configuration isn’t as simple as it sometimes looks, and you can try to fix one thing, but make another problem. Some options for you.

1. Book a consultant to go through your leave rules with you to explain how the forms work together. You can both review your leave configuration for any other issues.

2. If the rest of your leave is working beautifully, and this is the only problem you might want log into your TEST environment and refer to the Help Topic on leave payment rules in iCHRIS. The answer will be quite obvious after a while.

Do you know how to access the help menu, or your TEST environment?

We control this on the LTR form, for majority of our leave we have the field on LTR 'Include Public Holidays' blank, this means if they try to end or start their leave on a public holiday it will show as an error, they can't get past it and must select a different date. The only exception to this is LSL and parental leave where we have this box ticked so the system overrides the public holiday and pays the leave.
