HOLIDAYS AND WORKED HOURS ON HOLIDAYS

Holidays are any kind of Public holidays, Organization Holidays or any other sort of pre scheduled days

on which the employees are not expected to work. Such days are associated with National or regionalfestivals usually and are decided at the beginning of the financial/calendar year.

Worked hours on holidays happen when, due to planned/unplanned requirements, an employee is

expected to work on a holiday day. The employee may be paid in a different rate for such kind of work

performed on a holiday.

ERSTWHILE HOLIDAY FUNCTIONALITY IN OTL

OTLR’s existing holiday rule is equipped to handle a different rate of payment on holiday d ays. This is bythe use of a Holiday Rule, which can be defined in the Earning policy form, along with

Daily/Weekly/Special earning rules. Holiday rule is similar to other rules, and it facilitates creation of

tiers of rules and Payroll elements to be paid when the number of hours entered falls in the given tier.

Eg. Holiday rule defined like below.

Table 1

Rule Name Type Element Hours

Holiday Regular Rule Holiday Earning Rule Time Worked (holiday) 8

Holiday Overtime Rule Holiday Earning Rule Overtime (holiday) 24

If the employee works for 7 hours he gets paid with Time Worked(holiday) element for 7 hrs.

If the employee works for 10 hours he gets paid with Time Worked (holiday) element for 8 hrs, and 2

hours of Overtime (holiday).

This explosion overrides any other rules (Daily/Weekly) in case the day worked is a holiday as defined in

the Holiday calendar. It works like a special daily overtime rule, which takes highest precedence on aHoliday day. So as per this functionality when an Employee works on a Holiday day, the only thing that

he will get paid is what is defined in the Holiday Rules in the Earning policy.

DRAWBACKS


5/29

Needless to say, this has drawbacks. The legislative requirements of Daily/Weekly and Special overtimes

are not met with, if a Holiday falls towards the latter half of the week, when the employee has crossed

over weekly overtime.

Here is an example

Table 2

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Saturda

y Sunday

Time Worked 12 12 12 12 12

Explosion

Regular 12 12 12 4

Overtime 8 12

This is a normal work pattern for many organizations, where there is a Weekly overtime rule defined to

pay the employee in Overtime for hours above 40. The weekly overtime paid is added as part of the

Earning group. On Thursday, which is the Fourth day of the week, Weekly overtime is reached. On the

Fifth Day all the 12 hours falls on to Weekly overtime. Since the employee has worked a total of 60

hours for the week, he is entitled to receive 20 hrs of Weekly overtime.

In case there is a holiday rule defined, and the holiday falls on Monday, the explosion changes like

below, which might still is ok.

Time Worked 12 12 12 12 12

Explosion

Regular 12 12 4

Overtime 8 12

Holiday Worked 8

Holiday

Overtime 4

Here, Regular hours on Monday did not get paid. Nevertheless Holiday rule came into calculation there

and paid the employee according to Holiday Rule. This is fine because Holiday Pays would normally be

more than Regular Pay and no legislative requirements are broken here.

But, if the holiday falls on the fourth day of the week,

Table 4


Time Worked 12 12 12 12 12

Explosion

Regular 12 12 12Overtime 12

Holiday Worked 8

Holiday

Overtime 4

Here the scenario differs slightly. On Thursday, the Holiday rule came in and paid the employee as per

the rules. On Friday, since employee has worked 48 hours since then, has exploded into 12 hours. But

this breaks a few legislative requirements. Employee worked for 60 hours in the week, but got paid only

12 hours of Weekly overtime. It can be argued that the holiday Pay on Thursday could have covered the

overtime, but all of it will depend upon how the Labor laws are set up for the organization. If the

legislative requirement says that any hour over 40 SHOULD be paid as Overtime for the employee, we

just broke the law with this kind of explosion.

There you go with the drawback of the existing functionality. The existing functionality was good

enough until Weekly overtime is reached. Once it reaches Weekly overtime, the Holiday rule intervenes

in other Overtime rules, and creates a mismatch in Overtime rules.

PROFILE OPTION HXT: OVERTIME FUNCTIONALITY ON HOLIDAYS

With 11iFPKRup5 and R12.1.2, we have the new profile option HXT: Overtime Functionality on Holidays.

This is a site level profile option and can be set to decide the way you want Holiday Rule to function withthe rest of the earning rules. The available profile options are as follows.

NO EXPLOSION EXCEPT HOLIDAY RULE

This option preserves the existing functionality of the application as described above. How this option

works is explained above.

NORMAL EXPLOSION AND HOLIDAY RULE

This profile option is just a combination of all the existing explosions and Holiday Rule. Lets take the

above example of 60 hours worked on a week.

Table 5

When Monday is a holiday, explosion turns into

As the name of the profile option says, this option makes the Holiday rule apply on top of the existing

explosions.

POINTS TO NOTE WHILE CONSIDERING THIS PROFILE OPTION

On a holiday, employee is paid according to Daily/Weekly/Special rule and Holiday rule. This

means that you pay twice for a given hour of work, although in different Payroll elements.

HOW TO SET THE EARNING GROUP

With this profile option, Holiday rule’s elements work like a p remium on the hours worked. So it is

imperative that adding these to Earning group should be avoided at all times. It certainly would topple

up Weekly overtime calculation. For example in Table 6 above, if the elements in Holiday Rule where

added to earning group, explosion will change to the below pattern.

Table 8


Time Worked 12 12 12 12 12

Explosion

Regular 12 12 4

Overtime 8 12 12

Holiday Worked 8Holiday

Overtime 4

This happens because the hours paid under holiday rule on Monday got counted towards weekly cap

and the system counts 24 hours for Monday, rather than the 12 hours the person worked for. To avoid

such kind of circumstances, it is advised to avoid including the Holiday rule elements to earning group.

HOW TO SETUP HOLIDAY PREMIUM

A similar case exists while adding a Holiday Premium to act on Holidays for every hour worked. Such a

holiday premium is a requirement for many organizations on top of the Holiday rules and other

overtimes. Premiums may be of any kind. Nevertheless, for this option of the profile, since you are

paying more than the number of hours actually worked, it would make sense to attach the premium to

EITHER the holiday rule elements or Other Regular and Overtime elements and NEVER to BOTH.

Attaching Holiday premiums thru Premium Eligibility Policy to both the set of elements will result in

overpayment of holiday premiums, like below.

The below picture shows how duplicate Holiday Premiums appear

HOW TO SETUP SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PREMIUM

It might be required that Shift Premiums might be paid to the employee when he works on a particular

window of time, say 6 PM to 11 PM. For such cases too, the above point about Holiday Premiums are

valid. If the employee works from 6PM to 11 PM on a holiday day, he gets paid as per the Daily/Weekly

rules and Holiday Rules. So if SDP is attached, to both the set of elements, it would be paid twice.

Consider a case in the above example, where Monday is a holiday, and employee enters start time- stop

time instead of straight hours. He works from 11:00 to 23:00 and is eligible for a Night Shift premium. If

the SDP element is attached via Premium Eligibility Policy to Regular element, Holiday Worked and

Holiday Worked Overtime element, the following explosion will result.

DAILY/WEEKLY/SPECIAL OVERTIME ONLY AND HOLIDAY RULE

This is the third and more sophisticated option available for Holiday and overtime for the new profile

option HXT: Overtime Functionality on Holidays. If this is set,

No Regular element will be paid on Holidays.

All overtime (Daily/Weekly/Special) elements that fall on a holiday day will be paid in full

All holiday elements ( elements attached to the holiday rule in earning policy) will be paid for

the total number of hours worked.

To understand this, let’s get back to the example of a 60 hour work week. Here is the time

worked and expected explosion when there is no holiday.

Table 11


Time Worked 12 12 12 12 12

When a holiday falls on Monday, with profile option set to this value, the explosion would be

As you can see here, on the holiday no regular element was paid. Holiday rule was paid fully for the

total number of hours. Let’s see a scenario with Holiday falling towards the end of the week.

Table 13


Time Worked 12 12 12 12 12

Explosion

Regular 12 12 12

Overtime 8 12

Holiday Worked 8

Holiday

Overtime4

As you can see in the above example, on Thursday, which is a holiday, 8 hours of overtime that the

employee was supposed to get was paid. Also, holiday rule got applied for all 12 hours worked during

the day. The 4 regular hours which the employee would have got if the day was not a holiday was not

paid. This is an example of a holiday falling on a day which has regular and overtime to be paid

according to other (daily/weekly) rules. On the holiday, the employee worked for 12 hours, and he got

paid for a total of 20 hours, according to Weekly overtime rule and Holiday rule.

In case the holiday was on Friday instead of Thursday, the following explosion would have happened.

Table 14

This option being complex as it is, the system is intelligent enough to count the Regular hours that are

not getting paid to be counted towards Weekly overtime cap. So, for this profile option also, it is

imperative that Holiday elements are not added to earning group. The system does not pay the

employee with the regular element, but it knows that a regular element has to be counted on the day,and weekly cap will be calculated based on the total number of hours worked rather than what is paid.

Lets see this clearer with the above example of Thursday as holiday.

If Friday was not a holiday, the following explosion is expected.

Table 15

the holiday coming on Thursday, explosion changes as below.

Here the system assumes the regular element being paid on the day, and does OT calculation with the

below picture.

To get the scenario clear let’s get an example of time worked like below.

Table 18

Though this is not paid, system assumes it

accordingly.

When the holiday falls on Thursday and HXT: overtime Functionality on Holidays is set to

Daily/Weekly/Special Overtime and Holiday rule on Holidays is set, the following explosion occurs.

Table 19



Explosion

Regular 12 12 6 10

Here again, the 10 hours on Thursday, which is the grayed out cell is not paid. But if the system did not

know of this 10 hours, then the explosion would have been like below.

Table 20



Explosion

Regular 12 12 6 8

Overtime 2 4

Holiday Worked 8

Holiday

Overtime4

Note that Friday explodes into 8 hours regular and 4 hours overtime instead of all 12 hours of overtime.

This is because, without the regular element on Thursday, the total number of hours worked for the

week is 12+12+6(all regular, Monday thru Wednesday)+2(overtime) = 32 hours. System has to assume

the Weekly cap is not reached, and will pay 12 hours into 8 regular and 4 overtime hours.


17/29


17


Please note that this is not how the explosion happens; it is just an explanation of how a less intelligent

system would have behaved.

To understand how adding Holiday Worked elements to Earning rule would topple up the explosion,

let’s go into a 3 tier Weekly rule where anything above 52 hours in a week is Weekly doubletime.

Look at the below explosion.

Table 21



Explosion

Regular 12 12 6 10

Overtime 2 10Doubletime 2

The Friday hours are exploded to 10 hours of Overtime and 2 hours of Doubletime, because till

Thursday, a total of 42 hours have been worked. Anything over 52 is to be paid as doubletime.

Lets impose the holiday on Thursday, and see the explosion.

Table 22

Note the grayed out cell of Regular hours not being paid and System already knowing it. If System did

not know about it, the following explosion would have happened.

Table 23

Holiday Worked 8

Holiday

Overtime4

Till Thursday, there are a total of 32 hours being worked, and system explodes the 12 hours on Friday to

8 hours of Regular and 4 hours of overtime.

In case you add Holiday worked and Holiday overtime to the earning group, this would be the resulting

explosion.

Table 24



Explosion

Regular 12 12 6

Overtime 2 8

Doubletime 4

Holiday Worked 8

Holiday

Overtime 4

Since there are 44 hours as per the earning group up to Thursday, system explodes the 12 hours into 8

Overtime and 4 doubletime. Here again the explosion is not right because employee worked for a total


19/29


19


of 54 hours in the week, which means he is entitled to receive 12 hours of Overtime and 2 hours of

doubletime.

To avoid all this kind of Overpayment and underpayment issues, the System is equipped to count the

Regular hours paid on the Holiday, even though it is not paid. It also means that adding Holiday Rule’s

elements on to the Earning group is to be avoided completely because the system automatically takes

care of it.

HOW TO SETUP HOLIDAY PREMIUM

In addition to the normal overtime rules, holiday overtime rules etc, it might be required to set up a

Holiday premium for the total number of hours worked on a holiday. From the above explanation, it

should be clear for you that on a holiday day, Regular elements do not get paid, Overtime elements doget paid and Holiday rule gets applied for all the hours worked. So it is imperative that Holiday premium

should be attached only to the holiday rule elements. Eg. If you attached Holiday premium thru PEP to

the overtime elements, this is what happens.

To avoid these kinds of overpayment, it is imperative that you attach any Holiday Premiums only

to the elements in the Holiday rule if this is the profile option you are selecting.

HOW TO SET UP SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PREMIUMS

For this profile option, on the holiday days, Regular hours are not paid. But the holiday hours are paid in

full and so are Overtime hours. This would lead to many duplication of SDPs. But the system will take

care of deleting any duplicate SDPs provided for the same period of time. Let us get back to the

example of 60 hours entered in a week, and time entered on Thursday with start time to stop time

instead of straight hours.

Imagine there is a shift premium associated to time from 12:00 Noon to 11Pm at night and time is

entered like below.

This is how explosion would happen if there was no holiday.

Actually the two SDP entries would be combined – this is put up to make the idea clearer.

22/29


22


As you can see here, there is a chance for Duplicate SDPs in case Shift Differential element is attached to

both the Holiday rule elements and the other elements. But it throws a deadlock situation because not

attaching it to Holiday rule element might mean that you won’t get SDP paid on a holiday day where youworked for 12 hours but there are no overtime hours, like when a holiday falls on the beginning of the

week. Not attaching SDP element to Regular or overtime element is not an option because you need

SDP to be paid on normal days too.

Fortunately, system is now equipped to eliminate any of the duplicate sdps. In case of the above

example, system will eliminate the 15:00 to 23:00 entry for SDP because it is a duplicate entry. System

scans thru all the available SDP elements paid and eliminates whichever one is overlapping another or is

the exact copy of another.


23/29


23


DAILY/WEEKLY/SPECIAL OVERTIME AND HOLIDAY RULE ONLY FOR REGULAR

This option follows the above profile option closely, but allows yet another complex requirement. There

are organizations which have the rule which states that you need to have all the overtimes(weekly/Daily

etc) paid as a mandate, irrespective of whether the day is a holiday or not, and holiday rules and special

pay should only be applicable in case where the hours are not overtime. So if you set this profile option,

No Regular element will be paid on Holidays.

All overtime (Daily/Weekly/Special) elements that fall on a holiday day will be paid in full

All holiday elements ( elements attached to the holiday rule in earning policy) will be paid, but

only for those hours which should have been Regular in the first place. If the explosion is such

that all the hours worked goes to overtime, no holiday rule is applied.

Here is our 60 hours work week, when there is no holiday attached.

In this above example, there is not Holiday pay coming into picture. That is because all 12 hours worked

were moved to Overtime as per the weekly earning rule, and since there are no regular hours, the

Holiday rule finds no place to apply itself.


Earning group setup for this profile option is also pretty much the same as that of the 3rd

profile option.The elements in Holiday Rule are not to be added to the earning group. The system assumes that they

are summed up, even though they are not paid.

No Holiday Pay here

because all 12 hours worked

were counted as overtime.

The Holiday rule applies

only for Regular hours.

Overtime 8 12

Holiday Worked 4

Holiday

Overtime

As is the case with 3rd profile option, having Holiday Rule’s elements in earning group will result

in unnecessary overpayments.

HOW TO SET UP HOLIDAY PREMIUM

For this profile option, the total number of hours worked on a day are preserved. If the employee

worked for say 10 hours, which was supposed to get paid for 6 hours regular, and 4 hours overtime, he

gets 4 hours of overtime, and 6 hours as exploded by Holiday rule on a holiday. Since the total 10 hours

is preserved, there is no possibility of overpayment of Holiday Premium.

But since there is no Regular element paid, but the system still assumes a regular hours worked, it isimperative that adding Holiday Premium thru PEP to Regular element is not useful. On the contrary, if

Holiday Premium is not attached via PEP to Overtime elements, the system would not pay Holiday

premium on the Holiday, if holiday falls after Weekly overtime is reached. So the following points are to

be noted.

Holiday Premiums not to be attached to Regular element.

System does not pay

this but counts it in

overtime calculation.Holiday rule applied

only for 4 hours of

27/29


27


Holiday Premiums must be attached to Overtime elements.

Holiday Premiums must be attached to Holiday Rule elements.

HOW TO SETUP SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PREMIUMS

On Holidays Regular hours would not be paid, but Overtime elements would be paid in full. And for the

regular hours that are not paid, holiday rule will come into effect. It can be safely assumed that Holiday

rule elements and Overtime elements divide the hours between them, and one would not overlap the

other. So, for the case of Shift differential premiums, PEP must hold SDP elements against Holiday

Rule’s elements, and all overtime elements.


28/29


28


POINTS TO NOTE IN SETUP

The following important points have to be complied with for the smooth functioning of the Holiday

Functionality in OTLR.

EARNING CATEGORY

Elements in the Holiday rule are to be created as type Overtime earning, and not Absence or any other

type. An Absence type is used to represent a day the employee did not work, either part of PTO or

otherwise. For an element which denotes the explosion of working on a Holiday, the category should be

Overtime.

MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE ELEMENTS

Elements in the Holiday Rule should not be the same as Daily/Weekly/Special overtime elements. At

various instances in calculating what should be paid on Holidays, system needs to clearly distinguish

between what is paid as Daily/Weekly/Special overtime and what is paid as Holiday rule. To help the

system identify which is which, it is important to have distinct elements for Holiday Rule.

LIMITING THE HOLIDAY PAY

If the employee works for 12 hours a day, and the Holiday rule is defined only for 8 hours on a day, the

system just pays the employee 8 hours of Holiday pay. In other words, Holiday rule applies for a

maximum of what is defined in the Holiday Rule in the Earning policy. This should be noted while

creating a setup for a case where normally an employee works for a maximum of say 15 hours, but on

exceptions, he might work upto 24 hours. If the system is expected to adjust for this, Holiday rule must

be set up for 24 hours.

This could alternatively serve as a feature for Organizations following Holiday policy of one kind. For

example, a few organizations might have the following rule.

If the employee works on a holiday

All regular/overtime pay as per normal Daily/Weekly explosions prevail.

Any hours worked under 8 should be paid a Holiday pay, over and top of the daily/Weeklyexplosions, at a different rate.

For any hours worked over 8, the same rate paid for 8 hours will prevail.

In this case, the Holiday rule setup would have only one rule, upto 8 hours. For all the profile

options, if the employee works more than 8 hours, he gets paid only 8 hours.


29/29


OVERRIDING OF HOURS

Holiday Rule is a form of explosion performed by the OTLR engine. To facilitate this, it is required that

users do not enter elements or enter only the base element type in self service or PUI. If the holidayRule’s element is explicitly entered, it is assumed to be an overridden element and no explosions would

result.
