If today is a holiday

On a holiday, the blue button might be labeled Take the holiday, and clicking on it might open a menu of options.

The options available depend on company and union rules that apply to you. Possible options include taking the day off, or working on the holiday and getting paid double-time-and-half, or working and postponing the holiday to another date.

To add a premium

You won't be entering many premium. Most premiums you are entitled to are automatically added in the timesheet approval or payroll process, so you won't be entering them manually.

If a optional manual premium might apply, the [ADD PREMIUM] button will be shown.

Enter your premiums after you have entered your time worked.
Premiums appear at the bottom of your day (on the ONE-DAY panel), because premiums are recorded without start and end times.
Just which premiums are available will probably depend on the work you did.
