how the public holidays should be accounted for amidst these annual leave periods

[Moon239]

Hello Community,

I hope this finds you well. This might come across as a basic question, but after stepping back into a payroll management role, I find myself a bit lost, particularly with how to properly manage and account for public holidays during a fortnight in which staff are also taking annual leave.

With the upcoming Easter long weekend, we're facing a situation where our full-time employees, who typically work 76 hours over a fortnight, will be taking varying amounts of annual leave—some for 2 days and others for 5 days. I'm trying to understand how to correctly process these occurrences in MYOB, especially how the public holidays should be accounted for amidst these annual leave periods.

Could anyone kindly offer some advice or explain the correct steps to follow in MYOB for handling these situations during the pay run? Your expertise and time in helping me navigate this would be incredibly appreciated.

Hi @Moon239,

Thanks for your post, and we're sorry for the delayed response.

If your employees will be taking leave, you will need to enter the number of hours taken against the payroll category and then adjust the base hourly so it will be paid accordingly. You may check the Help Articles: Public holidays for more information on how to do this.

Feel free to post again anytime you require further assistance.
