How do I change the holiday sets for everyone in a pay batch?

"How do I change the holiday sets for everyone in a pay batch?"

All employees in a pay batch observe the same holiday dates. However, you can always change which dates the pay batch uses as its list of holidays.

To change a pay batch's holidays:

1. First, select the pay batch on: MenuPay batches
2. Then tap: Time offPublic holidays
3. By default, the selected holidays default to the most commonly used holidays for that pay batch's country or state.
4. However, there may be alternative holiday sets that're more suitable.
5. To see the alternative holiday sets, tap Public holidays, and select the one you want.
6. Once it automatically reloads, you'll see the new holidays listed. Perhaps with some holidays that're unique to the new holiday set.
7. Once you're happy with your selection, tap: Save
8. Now that the pay batch's holidays have been changed, every employee in the pay batch instantly gets updated to have the new holidays.
9. To see the change in holidays, select an employee on: MenuPeople
10. Then tap: Time offPublic holidays
11. And you'll see that each of the pay batch's employees now also have the holidays that're unique to the new holiday set.
12. However, be advised that not everyone is entitled to holidays.
13. If you tap: PayPay settings
14. And open Employment type (at the top) you'll see that some types of employment are marked with "No" for: "paid holidays"
15. When you select one of the "No" paid holidays employment types.
16. And then tap back to: Time offPublic holidays
17. You'll see that the person no longer has any holidays listed.
18. And finally, you'll also see a button suggesting to convert the person back to an employee. In which case, the person would get holidays again.

Keep in mind that:

• Changing the "Public holidays" setting only affects which days are considered as days off for time off.
• The "Public holidays" setting doesn't affect an employee's tax calculations or paydays in any way.

For advanced usage:

• Sometimes you may have some employees who need different holidays to other employees.
• The only way to set different holidays is to put the employees into two different pay batches.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about changing a pay batch's holidays!
