Termination Holiday 8% Part Year Payment

Using the As Per Act holiday pay method, I have an employee who has been employed for more than a year, receives four weeks holidays a year, and is terminating their employment. How do I pay 8% of gross for the part year period?

From the Pay Calculation Screen select the employee, then click the holiday pay field. You are then asked whether the employee is continuing or terminating their employment. Select Terminating. Ace Payroll knows the employee has been employed for more than a year from the employee start date. Confirm the number of days owing, and confirm the daily rate.

Enter the part year payment by clicking Part Year Percentage in the above screen. The following screen is shown.

In the above screen select the amount to pay for the part year. Note the following The percentage has defaulted to 8%, based on the 4 weeks annual entitlement. If the entitlement was 5 weeks, the percentage would have defaulted to 10%. This may or may not be what is required. Section 23 of the Holidays Act 2003 requires 8%, but an employment contract may provide for a greater amount. The employee start date, last anniversary date, and gross earnings since the last anniversary date are shown in the help message to assist with a manual calculation if required. An itemised report of the gross earnings since last anniversary is available from a link on the screen shown in step 1. If an amount had previously been entered in the dialog, the selection would have defaulted to Selected Amount.
