Oracle HRMS enables you to record various holiday absences for employees and administer holiday pay. You can process the holiday pay that the employees accrue based on the different kinds of earnings and remuneration they earn in the holiday accrual year. Oracle HRMS provides you predefined lookups and fast formulas for processing an employee's holiday pay. Before you can process the holiday pay, you define the holiday allowance percentage for the employee.

   To set up holiday pay:

1. Assign a work schedule to the employee.

   See: Assigning a Schedule to a Worker

2. Link the Holiday Accrual and Holiday Entitlement Information elements to the required payroll.

   Note: If an employee is attached to a monthly or hourly payroll, then as you process the payroll, Oracle HRMS calculates the holiday accrual days and holiday allowance (holiday pay for the hourly payroll) based on the definitions at the legal employer or assignment level. For example, a five-day work pattern results in 2.08 days per month of holiday accrual and a six-day work pattern results in 2.5 days per month.

   You can override the accrual details at the legal employer level by defining the details at the assignment level.

3. In the Element Entries window, select the Holiday Allowance Override element to override the holiday allowance percentage you defined for the employee when you created the payroll.

4. Run the payroll.
