In order to pay your employee correctly the system assumes their standard work day is 7.25 hours, regardless of the alternate schedule that is in place. This is based on the 7.25 hrs/day work day X 5 days/week = 36.25 hrs/wk, which is equivalent to your employee’s scheduled hours for a week. The system accrues vacation time at 100% of the standard accrual rate.

Scenario: Fred is a full-time, salaried employee. His workload factor is 100%, Monday through Thursday. The Work Hours per Week for Fred is 36.25 hours. This is equivalent to a workload of 100% of the standard 36.25 hrs/wk.

Based on the above scenario, this would mean that Fred is only entitled 7.25 hours for a holiday. The system will pay him for 7.25 hours for that day. This also means that when Fred requests an absence, for example vacation, it will be deducted at a standard rate of 1.00 day * 100% = 1.00 day.
