Introduction
Once you have setup the public holiday calendar for your company you can then enable the holiday rates compliance rule to apply a premium rate to time worked on holidays. The premium rate is applied as a percentage of the employees' base rate.
Prerequisite
Administrator access
Navigation
Settings > Labor rules > Penalty hours > Holiday rates
Enable Holiday Rates Rule
Set the penalty rate applied for time worked on public holidays. In the below example, time worked on a public holiday will be paid at 2.5 times the worker's base rate.
If using Salaris Payroll, public holiday pay is included in the Overtime total on the payroll summary and pay stub — it is not shown as a separate line item.
Setup Holiday Calendar
Public holiday 'groups' can be set up if the same public holidays do not apply to all employees. For example, you may create one group for employees in New York, and another for employees in Chicago.
Navigate to Settings > Labor rules > Public holidays
Select 'Add a group'
Give the group a name
Select a Region, State or Territory to return calendar options.
Choose from the results showing in the dropdown
Select the location or locations the holiday calendar applies to.
Choose which holidays are applicable to this group
