@@ -92,6 +92,15 @@ For a general list of public holidays by country, follow these steps:
- All team members will see public holiday balance accrual in Workday. If you encounter an error when trying to submit a Public Holiday it is likely because you have met that limit. If you’d still like to have that day off, please utilize GitLab’s [Flexible PTO policy](/handbook/people-group/time-off-and-absence/time-off-types/#flexible-paid-time-off-pto).
- Public Holidays will be listed in Workday with a length of 1 day. You cannot take partial public holidays.
***I am a new hire. How has my public holiday balance been determined?***
When team members join mid-year, their public holiday balance is pro-rated based on their hire date using the following formula, where permitted by local law:
- (Days remaining in the calendar year ÷ 365) × Full-year public holiday entitlement
The result is rounded to the nearest whole day — up if the decimal is .5 or above, down if below .5.
For example, if your country's full-year entitlement is 10 days and you joined with 92 days remaining in the year, your balance would be 10 × (92 ÷ 365) = 2.52, rounded up to 3 days.
***I still have questions related to public holidays and/or how to categorize my time off, who can I ask?*** Please submit your question to the People Operations team via HelpLab.
