Although not an official "rule", it's important to know that for any Public Holidays, listed in the System Lists area and covered by the timespan of the current reporting period, a user who has any amount of time logged hour, on the days prior to and immediately after that public holiday will show that public holiday listed as Absence(paid).
If the user does not have time logged as such but is eligible to be paid for that public holiday, then he/she or the pm should add the day to his/her vacation calendar as a paid holiday.
