Description

Holiday pay is earned the year before the vacation is taken, and is paid instead of salary in the month the vacation is held. An Employee that was not employed the previous year, will have the right to take a vacation, but without getting vacation pay from the current Employer. As an Employer, you have to calculate and accumulate vacation pay for each employee every month.

When you as an Employer operate with 5 days work week and 5 weeks holiday, you must deduct wages for 25 working days, while the monthly salary covers 22 working days. This deduction should not reduce the wages or the holiday pay in A-melding, but instead, be reported as a separate deduction.
