Changes to the holiday calculation method in the infrastructure sector

Infra-sector holiday calculation method changes are handled in Netvisor by using two different holiday calculation methods simultaneously for the employee. From a software perspective, the use of two holiday calculation methods is implemented so that holidays are to be paid with the “old” holiday calculation method and accrued with the “new” holiday calculation method.
​

Holiday calculation method changes step by step

  1. Create a new holiday calculation method, for example “Percentage-based holiday calculation” (or something else), in the company’s Netvisor environment and edit its calculation formulas to match the desired result.

  2. In the holiday calculation method salary type settings, remove the “Included in calculation by default” setting from the salary types that pay this holiday calculation method. You can open the view or perform the action by selecting Payroll > Payroll > Salary model management > Holiday calculation method salary types > select the salary type name. This prevents the paying salary types from being included in payroll when holidays are entered as taken and to be paid.

    Perform this action for both holiday pay and holiday bonus salary types. Do not do this for salary types that affect accruals so that holiday accruals handled on the payslip will correctly appear on the holiday balance view on a monthly basis.

  3. Remove the “Holiday pay accrual” and “Holiday bonus accrual” “Included in calculation by default” setting from the KPA holiday calculation method salary types that are to be accrued.

    When you disable these settings on the salary types of the correct holiday calculation methods, they are not automatically included on payslips and will require manual handling. As a result, holidays to be paid and holidays to be accrued are handled according to the formulas of the correct holiday calculation methods during this transition phase. Be careful to edit the salary types of exactly the correct holiday calculation method.

  4. In the employee’s basic information, activate both holiday calculation methods when all pay periods of the 2022–2023 holiday credit year have been handled and the new holiday credit year begins, at which point you want to start applying this approach.

  5. When the 2024–2025 holiday credit year starts in spring on 1 April 2024, re-enable the “Included in calculation by default” settings for the paying salary types of the percentage-based holiday calculation method. Disable the “old” holiday calculation method in the employee’s basic information.

  6. In a final pay situation, handle those holidays manually on the payslip. In this way, the software does not recognize at which stage you want to use which holiday calculation method, nor how they should be handled at each stage of an in-progress holiday credit year and the transition phase.

Frequently asked questions

Why must the “Included in calculation by default” setting be removed?
​
Removing the setting prevents the automatic inclusion of the paying salary types in payroll when holidays are recorded as taken and to be paid during the transition phase.

How do I proceed in a final pay situation?
​
In connection with final pay, holidays must be handled manually on the payslip. During the transition phase, the software does not automatically recognize which holiday calculation method should be used at any given time.

What do I do when the new 2024–2025 holiday credit year begins?
​
Restore the “Included in calculation by default” selection to the paying salary types of the percentage-based holiday calculation method and disable the “old” holiday calculation method in the employee’s basic information.
