Leave codes should first be defined in Shift Setup > Leave. If you have custom leave paycodes for Public Holidays in your payroll software, you can add an overriding code to the employee's specific profile for this paycode.

Hours Settings:
Balance of Hours will balance their worked hours to their expected leave hours set in their daily rule. For example if an employee had 7.6 hours of PH, came in to work for 2 hours. They would get 5.6 Hours PH and 2 Hours worked paycode.
Apply Standard Leave Hours will give the employee their whole expected leave hours set and any worked hours.
