New holiday pay calculation basis Percentage for construction 14%+4,5% has been released for Procountor 17.6.2023. The calculation basis is based on percentage (18,5%) which is calculated from the cumulative earning earned during the holiday credit year. Salary types which affect the cumulative earnings can be set in Management > Salary info > Holiday pay settings (collective agreements) view after creating a new collective agreement.
Summer and winter holiday days' calculation
Summer and winter holiday days are counted by the following rule: first 24 days are summer holiday days, next 6 are winter holiday days, and following days are summer holiday days, if employee earns more than 30 holiday days per holiday credit year.
Earned and remaining summer and winter holiday days are presented separately in Holidays view of the employee. If there is a need for manual adjustments, it’s possible to adjust remaining summer and winter holiday days separately. Summer and winter holiday days are not separated in salary slip PDF and in Holiday accrual report.
Paying holiday pay
Summer holiday pay (14%) and winter holiday pay (4,5%) are paid separately with their own salary types:
2213 Holiday pay, construction 14%
2214 Holiday pay, construction 4,5%
Holiday pay is paid by using salary slip's Holiday pay button. It’s possible to pay both summer and winter holiday days from the same holiday credit year with the same salary slip.
