Public Holiday Compensation

Hi,

The original functionality for public holiday compensation was to be able togenerate compensation corresponding to “as if you had worked” when public holidays occur on normal working days.

This is according to labor agreements so that employees don’t loose income - especially for hourly paid.

For this to work the requirement is that:

• There should be an ordinary day type with working time on the day
• There should be a  substitute day type with 0 hours normal time on the substitute schedule
• There should be a PHC day defined with definitions to what to generate from ordinary day type and increment type

In IFS 10 at some time this was changed when someone requested this to work also when there is no substitute day type. After that the functionality was changed and a new checkbox was introduced.

Now you can choose if this should work only with substitute or not.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Maria

This answer does not help. My setup has a schedule with Day Types containing Normal Wage Code Types. A Substitute Schedule is created using Day Types with 0 Normal Wage Code Types.

I believe the issue is that how to setup a PHC Day Type and Schedule now is not clearly defined. Previously, for years, the PHC Day Type could be created using Absence Wage Codes. Now only an Increment Wage Code can be used. Can you please provide an example of setting up a PHC Day Type with Increment Wage Codes? Does an Increment Type also have to be created? If yes how and what should the Increment Type be connected to since it can’t be connected to a PHC Day Type. Every setup variation I have tried so far does not create Results.

FYI - The reason I have not been using Substitute Schedules for PHC is because the PHC will not insert Wage Codes if the Day is Confirmed or Authorized. Typically, clients want to Confirm and Authorize at the end of a Work Week. If there aren’t any Normal hours associated with a scheduled day, like a 0 hour Substituted day, then the system will Confirm and/or Authorize preventing the insertion of the PHC Wage Code which occurs the day after the scheduled PHC. If a 0-hour day is not substituted, and no hours have been recorded, the Day will not Confirm or Authorize until after the PHC Wage Codes have been inserted. This approach does require that the Week be Authorized twice or just before Payroll starts their process which impacts timing.

There would be far less rework or additional burden on Supervision and Payroll if PHC Wage Codes were inserted at the beginning of a Work Week. Insertion at the beginning of the week would allow Employees to see that they were being given the Holiday hours, Supervisors would know the hours were entered and confidently Authorize the days and/or week. Any corrections could be made during the week and before Payroll starts their process which is usually very time sensitive.
