To pay employees for holidays, add a Holiday pay type to their profile and enter their hours during payroll. This works for new hires, too.

 

Here's how to get it set up:

 

To add the Holiday pay type to an employee:

 

  1. Navigate to All apps and select Payroll.
  2. Choose Employees and click on the employee's name.
  3. Under Pay types, look for Holiday Pay and turn it on.
  4. Select Save.
  5. Repeat this for each employee, including any new ones.

 

To pay holiday hours when running payroll:

 

  1. Go to the All app and click Payroll.
  2. Select Run Payroll.
  3. Find the employee and enter their holiday hours in the Holiday Pay column.
  4. Choose Preview for the selected employee, then click Submit payroll.
