City or Municipal Holidays can be created in PayrollHero as a custom Day Type.

Here are the steps to do it:

• Create a custom Day Type for your specific holiday
  • Go to the Settings page
  • Click on Day Type
  • Click “Add a new Day Type”

•     Create a Day Type
  • Make it a “Secondary Day Type”
  • Do not check the “work day” check box since that is a holiday

• Once you have created the day type, you need to set up the Rates
  • Go to Settings
  • Click on Rates page
  • If the date is a Regular Holiday, set up the Rates to 200% for Worked and 100% Taken*
  • If the date is a Special Holiday, set up the Rates to 100% for Worked and 0% Taken*
    (* Rate is depending on your organization policies around holidays and special holidays)

• The above means that if the employee works on that holiday, they get the rate under Worked, and if they don’t they receive the rate under Taken.

• After setting up the rates, all you need to do is add the holiday via the employee’s shift
  • Go to the employee’s profile
  • On the shift cal page or scheduling page, edit the day.
  • Set the “Secondary day type” to your custom city/municipal holiday so they’ll get paid the extra rate for working that day, or a rate for not working the day.
