Holiday Pay

Pay for a public holiday, or premium pay for working on one.

Holiday pay can mean two things: being paid for a public holiday you take off, or receiving a premium rate (such as time-and-a-half) for working on a recognized holiday.

The specifics depend on jurisdiction and employer policy, so the rules are usually spelled out explicitly.

Example: An employee who works on a public holiday at 1.5× their normal rate is receiving holiday pay.

In Orvella: Pair Orvella's holiday calendars with banked time to handle premium hours worked on holidays.
