I have a client that wants to pay a different payrate for time worked on a Holiday. Is there a way you can automate this process?
Answer
Absolutely. We have the ability, through scripting, to automate a 'Holiday Worked' type of scenario and apply an appropriate category to any Holiday that the employee provided labor. The steps are as follows:

1. Make sure that you've done the Holiday Setup for the specific client
2. Next, you'll want to add in a script. Go to your Accountant Menu (after selecting the client).
3. Click on the Custom Processing/Rounding rules link.
4. Scroll to the client, and click on the client’s name you want to edit.
5. In the section you will see three links called “HolWork, HolWork15, and HolWork20”. These will allow you to edit the script in the below fashion:

HolWork - Convert "Regular" to "Holiday Worked"
HolWork15 - Convert "Regular" to "Holiday Worked" and pay 1.5x regular rate of pay
HolWork20 - Convert "Regular" to "Holiday Worked" and pay 2x regular rate of pay

Once you click on the appropriate link. You would copy the text that is generated then do steps 1 through 3 from above then.

4. Look again for the clients name you want to edit then under the "PROC. RULES" column which should be the next column over to the right after the clients name select that link (it could be named anything depending on whether there are links present already.)

5. Paste the script you copied earlier into the second box presented.

Remember that you must also create a new pay category "Holiday Worked", and that it will need to be added to the Pay Code Translation table under the Accountant Menu so the new category will export correctly.

As always, direct any further questions to support.
