When your employees submit leave through the Employment Hero, we will factor in the relevant public holiday into their leave requests. The process is automatic and Employment Hero will apply the relevant public holidays to an employee's leave request without you needing to do anything.
You can use the Public Holidays feature to add multiple public holiday calendars to Employment Hero or use the customisation option to create your own from scratch. To use this feature, you must first set up your locations. To read details on how to set up a location within Employment Hero please refer to this article.
