Set Up Calendar-based Premium Pay

Set Up Calendar-based Premium Pay

Calendar-based premium pay enables you to display holidays on a timesheet. You can also configure these dates to include a rate differential as needed. Example: If your contractors receive time and a half for holidays, you could add New Years Day to the US Holiday calendar and configure the
Calendar Pay Profile
 to calculate the pay rate with a
Type
 of
* Rate Differential
 and a
Rate Differential
 of
1.5
.
If you only want to display the holiday and not include a rate differential, you would select a
Type
 of
* Rate Differential
 and a
Rate Differential
 of
1
.
