Holiday Pay

Using the Holiday Pay task, you can calculate how much holiday pay active employees should receive based on your company's specific business rules. You are also able to create the earnings for the holiday pay.

Factors taken into consideration are:

Number of hours worked.
Status of the employee (full-time or part-time).
Average work day.
Rate of pay.
Seniority.
If they worked on the holiday or not.
If they were eligible for holiday pay even if they didn't work.

There are two items that must be configured prior to calculating the pay:

Holidays must be entered into the system (see Configuring Holidays).
Work rules must be configured (see Configuring Work Rules).

To view the information for a holiday:

Select the appropriate holiday from the drop-down list.
If you have not already done so, click Calculate Eligible Hours.
Once you have reviewed the data, click Create Earnings.
This creates an Earning record for each eligible employee. If Calculate Eligible Hours and/or Create Earnings have been clicked previously, the date and time they were clicked is displayed.
