Public Holidays and Make-Up Days: How to Check a Pay Estimate

The problem this product is built around

Holiday pay disputes often start with a calendar assumption nobody wrote down. A public holiday, make-up workday and ordinary weekend can have different multipliers, and a total without day classification cannot be audited.

How HourStamp solves it

HourStamp determines day type before applying the pay rule and keeps the basis and multiplier visible. Tiered rules can be represented by hour where the source rule requires it, and the result remains an estimate. Open the HourStamp product page for current availability and plan details.

A practical workflow

1. Choose the region governing the work.
2. Check whether the date is holiday, make-up or ordinary.
3. Inspect multiplier and hour basis.
4. Compare with contract or payroll policy when rules conflict.

What to check before you trust the result

Holiday calendars and labour rules differ by region and contract. HourStamp exposes the calculation but cannot decide the governing legal rule.

Who this workflow is for

Use it when a holiday or make-up day makes an estimate surprising.
