Create Time Calculations for Statutory Holidays (CAN)

Create Time Calculations for Statutory Holidays (CAN)

  • Confirm that the workers are in a Canadian pay group.
  • Create holiday calendars.
  • Create statutory holiday configurations.
  • Create a calculation tag to use in Canadian statutory holiday calculations.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Time Calculations
     domain in the Time Tracking Calculations functional area.
You can use holiday time block create calculations to create time blocks for workers on Canadian statutory holidays. Workday uses the statutory holiday configurations you make to determine which workers are eligible for the time calculation.
  1. Access the
    Create Time Calculation
     task.
  2. From the
    Calculation Type
     prompt, select
    Holiday Time Block Create Calculation
    .
    • The Holiday Time Block Create calculation supports effective dates, but this functionality does not apply to Canada statutory holidays. This is because the prerequisite task to create statutory holiday configurations does not support effective dates.
  3. From the
    Jurisdiction
     prompt, select the calculation method for holiday-based pay.
    • To calculate holiday pay based on the provincial and territorial statutory holiday pay you configured on the
      Statutory Holiday Configuration
       task, select
      Provincial
      .
    • To use federal guidelines to calculate statutory holiday pay for federal workers, select
      Federal
      .
  4. In the
    Eligibility Criteria
     section, select the
    Use Statutory Holiday Configuration Eligibility
     check box.
  5. In the
    Results
     section, select
    Quantity - Use Statutory Holiday Configuration Look Back
    .
    Workday calculates the quantity by dividing the total hours worked over the look back period by the number of days in the look back period.
    The province you select isn't configurable. It determines the length of the look back period and the lookback reference point. On the statutory holiday configuration, you can view the:
    • Length of the look back period in days.
    • Whether the look back reference point is the end of the week preceding the holiday, or the day before the holiday.
    Workday determines the total hours worked by including hours that are:
    • Tagged with the calculation tags you define in the
      Worked Hours Calculation Tags
       field on the statutory holiday configuration.
    Workday determines the number of days in the look back period by totaling the days in the look back period on which there are time blocks.
  6. In the
    Add Tags
     prompt, select the calculation tag you defined for the Canadian statutory holiday you configured.
  7. In the
    Groups
     tab, add time calculation group snapshots to specify which workers are eligible for the calculation.
    The statutory holiday time block may list a different value than what is calculated in the statutory holiday earning pay component related calculation (PCRC) if there are unapproved time blocks in the look back period. Unapproved time blocks are not included in Payroll calculations.
  • Assign time calculation priorities with the
    Maintain Time Calculation Priorities
     task.
  • Using Workday Payroll, set up earnings for holiday pay.
