4. To change your statutory holiday calculation method, click Change method.
5. Select your preferred method:
- Daily wage method: This method calculates statutory holiday pay by using an employee’s hourly rate multiplied by the hours for the holiday. You can edit the number of hours for each holiday.
- Federal method: This is for federally-regulated industries/workplaces that fall under the Canada Labour Code. This method uses 1/20th of wages earned in the four weeks immediately before the holiday.
- Note: This method can only be selected after you have run four weeks of payroll.
- Manual calculation: I’ll track, calculate, and add the statutory holiday pay myself within payroll.
