You have the option to create a separate paycheck specifically for the holiday pay, Hartman.

 

This approach will ensure that the holiday wages are paid independently and won’t interfere with any union-related calculations or percentage benefit. 

Here's how you can get it done:

 

  1. From the Preview Paycheck screen, you can manually delete the Union Item and any Other Payroll Items that aren't needed.
  2. Ensure that under the Earnings section, only the Holiday Pay item is added to the paycheck.
  3. Once everything looks correct, click Save and Close.

Thanks for the help.  I actually had to get it done so I went in and manually changed all the deduction and contribution numbers.  This only has to be done on Labor day so I'll try your way next year.
