Automated Public Holiday Processing, a significant enhancement, is now available in the Employment Hero payroll timesheets module.
This feature is designed to eliminate manual data entry errors, ensure compliance with complex "Otherwise Working Day" tests, and deliver maximum payroll accuracy for customers.
Key Benefits
The new automation streamlines one of the most error-prone parts of payroll processing:
- Zero Manual Entry: The system automatically identifies gazetted public holidays and handles entitlement checks and timesheet creation. This drastically reduces the administrative burden on managers and employees.
- Guaranteed Accuracy: Built-in logic performs the required "Otherwise Working Day" test for all eligible employees (full-time, part-time, and casual).
- Bulk Processing for Admins: Administrators can now apply unworked public holidays for all eligible employees with a single click during the timesheet approval process. This ensures everyone is paid correctly and on time.
- Automatic Split Shifts: For employees who work on a public holiday, the system automatically assigns the correct "Public Holiday Worked" pay type, even splitting shifts that cross midnight to isolate the exact hours worked on the holiday.
