Quick Answer
You can help ensure your holiday pay is processed correctly by keeping your schedule, time punches, and time-off requests accurate in Dayforce, and by communicating promptly with your supervisor if something does not look right before the pay period ends.
Holiday pay is determined based on system data in Dayforce, so accuracy and timely communication are key.
Holiday Pay Eligibility Basics
To be eligible for holiday pay, all of the following conditions must be met:
-
You are a regular, full-time nonexempt team member who has completed 90 consecutive days of employment.
-
You have an Active employment status in Dayforce on the holiday date.
-
You work your last scheduled shift before the holiday and your first scheduled shift after the holiday, unless you have approved time off.
-
You are not on unpaid leave on the holiday.
-
Holiday pay is not counted as hours worked for overtime. Only actual hours worked count toward overtime.
Dayforce automatically reviews schedules and time worked around the holiday to determine eligibility and holiday pay outcomes.
What You Can Do to Help Prevent Issues
To avoid missed or delayed holiday pay, we recommend the following best practices:
-
Check your schedule in Dayforce before and after the holiday to make sure it is accurate.
-
Work your scheduled shifts unless you have approved time off.
-
Clock in and out correctly for every shift.
-
Submit PTO or time-off requests early and confirm they are approved in Dayforce.
If Something Doesn’t Look Right
If you believe your holiday pay may be missing or incorrect:
-
Review your schedule, time punches, and pay statement in Dayforce.
-
Talk with your supervisor as soon as possible to review the situation.
-
If additional support is needed, contact HR for assistance.
Important Reminder
Holiday pay is based on the information in Dayforce before payroll is processed. If an issue is identified after payroll has closed, any correction will be processed on the next regularly scheduled pay run.
Keeping your information accurate and addressing concerns early helps ensure timely and correct pay.
