Hi @Clarah,

If an employee requests an Absence day on a day that is a Public holiday this will not update as an additional day in the balance, but this Absence request will not be deducted from the Absence balance because this is already a day off. The days an employee can request absence depends on the Work Schedule of the employee, if the employee has a Work schedule from Monday till Friday, and requests absence on Saturday this will not be deducted from the Absence balance. 

If a Public holiday falls on the Weekend and the employee has a Work schedule from Monday till Friday, not additional day will be added to the Absence balance.

Here you will find more information regarding: Create work schedules and Create absence types.

Best,

Sofia
