Holiday Pay Average Report
Use this report to produce a list showing employees' average pay over
the number of weeks specified in the Weeks for Holiday
Pay Average box on the Set
Options form. If you are using the departments facility, you can choose
between employee reference or department/cost centre sequence and specify
the range of records to be included. You can enter a date to be printed
on the report.
From 6 April 2020, the number of weeks that must be used to calculate
average weekly earnings for holiday pay - the 'Holiday Pay Reference Period'
- increases from 12 weeks to 52 weeks.
This change is designed to even out seasonal variations in pay for workers
in seasonal occupations without fixed hours or pay.
Holiday pay averages are calculated in Opera 3 for weekly paid employees.
Employers with weekly paid employees must ensure that the Weeks
for Holiday Pay Average option on the Set
Options form in Payroll is set to '52' at the start of the 2020-21
tax year.
This
report does not include the payroll calculated for the current pay period.
