Summary

An employee gets an alternative holiday for working on a public holiday that is an otherwise working day.

Some people call alternative holidays ‘lieu days’ or ‘days off in lieu’ but those terms can also refer to other types of leave so it is recommended to call alternative holidays by their correct name.

In PayGlobal when an employee is entitled to receive an alternative holiday, the Leave Credit feature coupled with payroll rules is used to support this compliance obligation.

All references to Alternative Holiday are contained in the following entities:

• Allowances
• Leave Credits
• Leave Credit tables

Reporting

We recommend using the report Leave Credit History (PGPRLEAV044) to report on Alternative Holidays.
