Holiday Pay Reference Period calculation

Is Sage going to be providing a way to calculate the average weekly pay of an employee that is paid hourly and does variable overtime, using the new Reference Period of 52 paid weeks that comes into effect from April 20, excluding weeks that have zero pay?

Thanks

    Hi Eve,

    Thanks for using Sage City. Sorry for the delay in my response.

    You can use Holiday in hours to calculate the holiday entitlement for hourly paid employees. You can find out more about Holiday in hours and how it's calculated here.

    This doesn't answer my question.  I wasn't asking about how to calculate the quantity of holiday.  I was asking about calculating the RATE for employees who do regular variable overtime.  Sage has a report that gives the average weekly rate over 12 weeks, I was asking if this was being extended to a 52 week average rate per the new reference period coming into effect in April

    Hi Paul

    What about if your employee is attached to a standard 28 day scheme, but they work variable overtime and have call outs etc. as in the original question.

    At the moment, Sage only has a report to calculate the 52 week average, but some of these weeks may need to be excluded due to absence, so I'm going to have to put in a longer date range and then manually deduct the weeks with absence etc to the the average weekly wage.

    Thanks
