Set a maximum average hours to pay for employee's holiday

You can set a maximum average hours to pay for employee's holiday to cap how many hours the system uses when calculating holiday pay, so an employee’s holiday pay doesn’t end up based on unusually high hours they’ve worked.

If you set a maximum average hours to pay for employee's holiday is especially useful for casual or variable-hour workers, because without capping they could end up earning more holiday than they should be entitled to if they work extra hours or days beyond full time.

In practice, the system calculates an average for example, using a 52-week lookback, and this setting limits that average to the maximum you enter.


To set a maximum average hours to pay for employee's holiday, follow the steps below:

  1. Find the employee's profile by using the organisation search then click on Payroll.

  2. Click on Rotas then click Edit.

  3. Enter Maximum average hours to pay.

    • You can enter full hours e.g. 7 and half e.g. 7.5.

  4. Click Save.
