Adding Public Holidays

By default the DataPay application will have all national Australian public holidays preset into the system.

However there are a number of state-specific/regional public holidays that may not be included for states such as Tasmania or Northern Territory. 

To add these public holidays, an employee group will need to be created then add the employees to this group. 

• Navigate to the Employee Groups tab > Select the Employee Group Drop-Down Menu > Add Employee Group

• Enter a name for the employee group > select Other for the Employee Group Type > Save

• Click on the Transfer Public Holiday button

• In the Transfer Public Holiday screen, locate the required date within the calendar > right-click the cell and select Create Custom Holiday

• Enter the name of the public holiday > change the Leave Type to Public Holiday > Ok > Save

• You can also add the public holiday for the following year by changing the effective year in the top-right hand corner of the Transfer Public Holiday screen

• Repeat this process for any other state-specific/regional public holidays required for this state.
• Once the public holidays are entered in for the employee group, add the employees to this group from either the Employee Group Screen or from the employee's profile
