What should I enter in my timesheet on a public holiday?

In Flexportal, you enter your timesheet. Is 1 of the days that week a public holiday? Then that day is colored in the timesheet. 

If you didn't work on that day, you don't have to fill in any hours. If you would normally work that day, you are entitled to a holiday allowance. We'll make sure you get that paid properly. 

Did you work? Then enter the hours you worked.
