Manually Award Holiday Pay

Manually awarding holiday pay is an efficient method for assigning payment to specific employees for any Holiday.

Important Note: To setup an automatic holiday payment scenario, review the "Automatic Holiday Pay" screen. Due to numerous potential possibilities in qualifying to receive holiday pay according to individual company policy (for example: full-time employees received regular-pay time off on holidays only if 32 hours are worked the previous week), most holiday pay administration will involve manual pay entries, as describe below.

Note: In order for the system to recognize holidays, each must be selected in the Holiday Setup Screen (see the Holiday Setup link for further details). Otherwise, these days will be recognized as regular work days and will not receive related automatic functions connected with these days, for example, a HolPayX rule, which pays all employees worked time and a half.

To manually award an employee holiday-paid time off, enter the employee setup screen and select either an individual employee or check the corresponding boxes to work with many employees (see illustration).

Select an employee from the provided list or click the corresponding individual check-boxes to work with multiple employees. Utilize the button tool Work with selected employees found below the employee list (see illustration).

You may now add the desired amount of hours to the group of employees selected. As described in the frame, you may run through this process a few times in order to award holiday pay to first, full-time employees receiving a specific allotment of hours, and once again for part-time employees who may receive a different allotment of hours, but only if needed (see illustration).

With the second entry box, you may validate the day these applications will be made; meaning, you may pre-set the holiday payments and the system will automatically pay the employees as designated on the date prescribed.
