Add an earnings line for public holiday and rest days

Helpful Hint

If an employee doesn't use timesheets, they cannot use work types to record when they work on a Public Holiday or rest day. In this scenario, you can choose the correct pay category manually within the pay run. 

Doing so will prompt the platform to automatically calculate the correct rates based on the calculations outlined in this article: How is pay for work on a rest day or public holiday calculated?

  1. Click the  Pay Runs menu.
  2. Click on the pay run you need.
  3. Click on the name of the employee who needs an earnings line added.
  4. Click the Actions  button.
  5. Click Add Earnings.
