To Add a Holiday

TimeIPS can automatically apply holiday hours to qualifying employees by payroll type. You can also manually enter holiday hours by employee.

1. Enter the Holiday Name in the Create a New Holiday section at the top of the screen.
2. The Duration (hours) field is used to indicate the number of paid hours to apply.
3. If part-time employees should receive prorated holiday hours based on their scheduled hours per week, select Yes in the Prorated based on Scheduled Hours vs. 40 hrs pull-down.
   
   NOTE: The Scheduled hours per work week is set for each payroll type or employee in Administration » Payroll and Reports » Payroll Settings.
   
   EXAMPLE: John's "Scheduled hours per week as shown on LCD or Large Display" in his payroll settings is set to 20. A prorated holiday with a duration of 8 hours is created. TimeIPS will automatically apply 4 hours of holiday pay to John. (20 scheduled hours / 40 FT hrs * 8 holiday hrs = 4).
   
   EXAMPLE: Sue's "Scheduled hours per week as shown on LCD or Large Display" in her payroll settings is 32. A prorated holiday with a duration of 8 hours is created. TimeIPS will automatically apply 6.4 hours of holiday pay to Sue. (32 scheduled hours / 40 FT hrs * 8 holiday hrs = 6.4).
4. The Waiting Period is the number of days new employee must wait before qualifying for a paid holiday. Enter 0 if there is not a Waiting Period.
5. If employees must work the day before and after the holiday to receive the holiday pay, select Yes in the Adjacent day required.
   
   NOTE: TimeIPS excludes weekends in the Adjacent day requirement. Therefore, if the holiday falls on a Monday the preceding work day is Friday.
6. Using the pull-down options, select the Holiday observed on date.
