My staff are allow the standard 28 days holiday (pro-rata for part-timers) plus we give them an additional day's holiday for their birthday.  My staff have minimum hours contracts but their hours vary every week above that minimum.  How do I calculate holiday pay given that we have to calculate holiday pay based on average pay from the previous 52 weeks.

 

I have QBO Advanced payroll

    Hi Martin, this feature is not yet available, we'd strongly recommend leaving feedback as developments are based in part on customer-demand, so it would be great to get all the input we can for this - you can leave this by selecting the settings wheel > feedback within your account. 🙇‍♀️

    A pleasant day, taniaharve,

     

    I'm here to help add a holiday pay type for your employee in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

     

    You'll want to set up a separate rate of pay as holiday on a payslip. This is the workaround while the system isn't able to accrue holidays at the moment.

     

    To do this, you'll want to go to the employee section and find the employee you wish to add holiday pay for. Here's how:

    1. Go to the Employees tab.
    2. Find the employee you wish to add holiday pay for
    3. Choose + (at the bottom of the page), then select Other pay.
    4. Select or search for the pay type you want to add. If you can’t find the pay type you’re looking for, you can add it.
    5. Choose an option you will have the ability to rename this as 'Holiday pay' or however you wish to record this.
    6. Save your changes.

    Check out the QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll Hub page to help manage your payroll settings, employees, and processing pay runs.

     

    Keep me posted if there's anything else you need concerning payroll. I'm always right here to help.

    Hi there,

     

    I am interested in the same topic. Does QB provide any report with 52 weeks average which could be used for holiday pay calculation?

     

    Thanks

    Kind Regards

    Great to have you hear in the Community, @Accounts Axminster.

     

    Currently, there isn’t a report that generates the calculation of holiday pay base on the average pay from the previous 52 weeks. However, if you have set up a separate payslip rate for holiday pay as shared by my colleague above, I got a workaround that you can consider.

     

    You’ll want to go to the Employees menu and run the Pay Categories Report. This report shows the rates that employees are paid. Let me guide you how to pull up the report in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

     

    Here’s how:

    1. Go to the Employees menu.
    2. Click the Reports tab.
    3. Select Pay Categories Report under the PAYROLL section.
    4. Adjust the date range if necessary and click Run Report.

    Let me know if you have further questions in managing your payrolls in QBO, I’m only a post away from you.

    I also have this question and the previous replies don't actually answer the question.

     

    How do we create a report that will give the average hours over the last 52 weeks.  Can one be built by the support team?

     

    many thanks

    Hi,

     

    I also have the same question. Has the QB team already done the report that allows me to check the average hours over the 52 week period?

    Is there any update to the 52 week average payroll?? If its law surely should be available?

    Hi JuJuS, the 52 week average is able to be calculated for annual leave taken by employees on weekly, two weekly (fortnightly), four weekly and monthly pay schedules. Are you using the standard or advanced version of payroll in QuickBooks?
