Description
A new pay batch stage called Rolled-up Holiday Pay has been added to the pay batch process, directly after the Manual Items pay batch stage.
At the Rolled-up Holiday Pay stage, the system automatically pays rolled-up holiday payments to payees who are eligible to be paid on a pay-as-you-go basis in lieu of taking paid annual holiday leave.
Where a payee is eligible to receive rolled-up holiday pay, the system pays an amount that is equivalent to a certain percentage of specific earnings, where the percentage and relevant subset of earnings are defined by maintenance settings (for more information, see Configuration below).
In a normal pay batch, an eligible payee will be paid rolled-up holiday pay for the current pay period and any prior pay periods during which they were eligible for rolled-up holiday payments but are yet to be paid. The rate of payment for each period can be adjusted manually if necessary.
Benefits
This enhancement caters for paying rolled-up holiday payments to payees who are eligible to receive such payments in lieu of taking paid annual holidays.
Configuration
To cater for rolled-up holiday payments, a new maintenance area labelled Rolled-up Holiday Pay has been added under Payroll > Maintenance. For more information about how to configure rolled-up holiday payments and how to flag payees as being eligible to receive the payments, see …
