What’s the meaning of Holidays in Payroll?

Holidays are official non-working days that affect payroll calculations, especially if an employee works on those days. In Clockster, such days can be paid at an increased rate.

How it works

• If an employee does not work on a public holiday, the day is simply skipped in payroll calculations (unless it is included in their work schedule).

• If an employee does work on a holiday, their hours are paid at a higher rate (for example, ×2) specified in the Rates section.

Example:
If an employee’s rate is $10/hour and they work 8 hours on a holiday with a multiplier of 2.0, the total pay will be:
10 × 2 × 8 = $160

Holiday database

• For Kazakhstan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, public holidays are already included in the system — no manual entry is required.

• For other countries, holidays can be added manually in the Payroll module settings.
