Hi debs,
Thank you for your post.
Regarding this, we recommend you ensure to create the correct payroll categories linked to your employees. We suggest creating public holiday leave separate from the annual leave so that it will not be included in the annual leave category. With that you may have a look at this help article, public holidays, this will show you how you can separate the public holidays on a pay.
