Public holiday pattern clashes when an employee is on sick

If an employee is sick during a public holiday (ie they are subscribed to a public holiday pattern) the sick report does not pull through accurately as it does not take into account the public holiday as it sees it as a non-working day. This is not the case as the public holiday is still included in their holiday balance to use again once back in work.

Therefore the sick absence query for the sickness duration is less than it should be meaning our payroll reports are incorrect. PeopleHR has confirmed that the only way to get around this is to remove individuals from public holiday patterns and re-add them but this just isn't feasible in practice and would increase administration.
