We have given day off on Aug2 - Civic Holiday. As an employer do we have to PAY for this day, is it a PAID Day off?  I was thinking of NOT Paying, since we given day off already. Do i Have to pay or my option NOT to PAY? It's confusing for me, as I have searched and read various website. So please help me clarify.

Thanks

Hi akhtar24.

 

Making sure you have the right holiday pay set up is key when running payroll. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction for this.

 

QuickBooks makes setting up your payroll quick by having easy to follow steps to create new payroll items. In order to make sure you have the correct paid holidays set up I recommend reaching out to the CRA as they have a listing of which holidays are paid and which aren't. You can check out their general holidays page here or reach out to them through their contact page.

 

You can also reach out to an accountant as they could also help answer questions like this. If you don't have an accountant no worries, we can help. In your QuickBooks Online account you can go to My Accountant>Find a pro to help to find one in your area.

 

If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.
