Costing - there are a few different options to understand before you choose how you wish to cost your employee hours.
Rate - you will assign an rate in an employee pay record on what the employee should be costed for all Public Holiday hours e.g. €15.00
Multiplier - choose by what value the current regular hours pay rate for an employee should be multiplied to cost for Public Holiday Hours e.g. 2.0
Hours from last day worked - if an employee works on the Public Holiday, they will get paid the hours they work that day, and also the hours from the last day they worked
One fifth of hours worked the week of the Public Holiday - a calculation of one fifth of the hours the employee worked on the week of the public holidays will be costed along with the hours worked on the day
One fifth of average week hours for the last 13 weeks - a calculation of one fifts of the avereage week of hours worked for the last 13 weeks for the employee will be costed along with the hours worked on the day
Hours worked on the PH - the hours worked on the bank holiday will be costed as public holiday hours AND regular hours (double costed).
Only apply rule to employees who have worked at least 40 hours in the last 5 weeks - select yes or no
Calculate pay for employees who did not work the Public Holiday - select Yes or No. If you select Yes, you again must choose how to cost that entitlement.
One Fifth of hours worked the week of the Public Holiday
Hours from the last day worked
One fifth of average week of hours worked for the last 13 weeks
You can also choose if you want to assigne this rule as a default for all employees - meaning it will be applied to all employees on the account straight away and will be applied to all future employees added to the account.
Click 'Save' when you're happy with the Public Holiday Pay Rule.
