How do I add holiday hours to payroll?

Your payroll account already comes with a Holiday Policy set up at the company level. You must assign the policy to each employee that you want to receive holiday pay. 

  1. Click on the Employees Tab at the top of your payroll account.  

  2. Click the employee you want to assign the holiday policy to. 

  3. Click “Time Off”. 

  4. Click “Assign Holiday Policy” (please note you may be prompted to “Reset Payroll & Edit Policy”).  

  5. Confirm the Policy Pay Rate and click “Assign”.  

  6. Repeat for each employee as necessary.  


Once you have the holiday pay policy assigned to the employee on their employee profile, you can then pay the employee holiday pay during payroll entry. 

  1. Click on start payroll or continue payroll. 

  2. On payroll entry, go to the employee that you want to pay and click on the pencil under “more” for Time Off. 

  3. Select Holiday Pay and enter the number of hours used.  

  4. Click on Save (salary employees’ regular pay amount will automatically adjust based on the number of holiday hours entered). 

  5. Repeat for any other employees and enter any other payroll information.  Once complete, click on Preview Payroll. 

  6. Review the payroll information for accuracy and approve payroll.
