Paid Holiday Work: How Do You Calculate Employee Pay for That Day?

If an employee works on a paid holiday, how is the calculation for that day paid?

Calculation of Pay for Working on a Paid Holiday

When an employee works on a paid holiday, the calculation for that day is typically based on their regular rate of pay plus any applicable holiday premium pay. This means that the employee would receive their regular wages for the hours worked on the holiday, as well as any additional compensation or benefits specified in the company's policy or employment contract. It is important for employers to clearly communicate their holiday pay policies to employees to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings.

On a paid holiday (statutory holiday), employees will receive double their gross salary.

You can give compensatory time off or provide one day's extra wages. You can calculate the wages for a day by dividing the gross wages by 26.

What is your present policy for employees working on a paid holiday?

Do you pay according to policy, provide compensatory time off, offer a single pay, or pay double if the employee works on the holiday?
