These instructions cover the creation and definition of a new salary type for paying holiday bonus days off. The guide helps set the necessary formulas so that the paid holiday bonus days are correctly reduced from the holiday pay debt and accruals.

Create a separate salary type for paying holiday bonus days off

To pay holiday bonus days off, you can create a separate salary type that reduces the paid holiday bonus days from the holiday pay debt and holiday bonus accruals.

A separate salary type is needed for handling holiday bonus days off, which will be linked to the salary type holiday bonus.

You can open the view or perform the action by selecting Payroll > Payroll > Salary model management > Company-specific salary types > Add new salary type

  1. Define the settings for the salary type as shown in the image below.
  2. Ensure that there is no checkmark in the "Included in calculation by default" section, as the salary type for holiday bonus days off is selected separately for inclusion in the calculation.
  3. Also, add the income type and account postings if necessary.

  1. Save the salary type.
