  • Security:

Workday requires that you provide worker earnings for statutory holiday pay in weekly amounts. To avoid impacting your original source earnings, Workday recommends that you create shadow earnings and link the source and shadow earnings.
Evaluate which earnings you want to split directly and which earnings you want to create a shadow for. Example: You must directly split holiday pay payout or exclusion earnings without creating shadow earnings for them.
When you link 2 earnings using a shadow relationship, Workday:
  • Automatically applies amendments, such as compensation changes and pay input adjustments, from the source to the shadow.
  • Divides the values from the source earning into weekly amounts.
  1. Create a shadow earning to split holiday pay into weeks.
    When creating shadow earnings, consider which amounts and related calculations can be split into weekly amounts.
  2. Access the
    Create UK Statutory Holiday Pay Shadow Earnings
     task.
    Link your shadow earnings for holiday pay to their associated source earnings.
  3. Access the
    Edit Run Category
     task.
    In the
    Gross / Net
     section, add either the shadow earning, or a new pay component group (PCG) associated with the shadow earnings. This addition ensures that Workday processes the shadow earning during payroll calculation.
When you run payroll, Workday displays all earnings, that are part of a PCG linked to a holiday pay configuration, on the
UK Statutory Holiday Pay
 tab of the
View Payroll Results
 report.
