To help managers decide what to holidays to pay we have added a helper tool to work this out.

When a manager clicks this button two elements appear:

The employee's current holiday balance

The employees average hours worked per day and per week

To calculate employee's average daily and weekly hours the system uses the employees work history up to a maximum of 52 weeks.

This information helps managers to determine the appropriate number of hours an employee should be paid when on annual leave.

Holiday pay hours are deducted from the employee's holiday balance after the holiday has been taken.

Payroll Export Including Holiday Hours

To include the holiday hours in the payroll export simply select the option to INCLUDE HOLIDAY PAY HOURS as illustrated below.

An extra column for "Holiday Hours" is included in the export and this can be imported into your payroll software as part of the payroll report.

Please Note:

Your payroll system will be the ultimate source of accurate information for worked hours and annual leave.

When calculating holiday balances and holiday pay estimates, Gig Grafter assumes that the pay hours submitted to your payroll software are uploaded from the Gig Grafter timesheets without any further changes.

In some circumstances payroll managers can make additional amendments to pay records after the data has left Gig Grafter. If that occurs discrepancies can arise between holiday balances calculated by your payroll software and those calculated by Gig Grafter.

This can be corrected by updating holiday balances within Gig Grafter with the data calculated by your payroll software.
