Payroll Q&A

A. Holiday pay is calculated based on your FTE % (full time equivalence). As long as you are eligible for holiday pay, you take 7.5 hours multiplied by your FTE %.

Example  FTE =  60%. (7.5 hours x 60% = 4.50 holiday hours)

Holiday hours are paid for every holiday regardless of your normal schedule. Keep in mind that the days a holiday falls on your regular scheduled day your check will be for less hours. However when a holiday falls on a regular day off your check will be for more hours.

• The system defaults holiday hours on all BW staff employees
• Temporary employees will not get paid these hours (7.5 hours will show on ESS timesheet)
• Part time employees will only get paid based on their full time equivalency (7.5 hours will show on ESS timesheet however system will calculate correct hours when we run our processes)

When you approve time for BW staff, you will only be approving the actual hours they keyed in, system atomically approves holiday hours for you.
