Calculation of Stat. holidays without seniority

Statutory Holidays calculation method

The calculation of stat. holidays is done according to the following formula for Quebec:
It is the cumulative gross salary for the last 4 weeks, excluding overtime, divided by 20.
This amount divided by the employee's hourly salary represents the number hours for which the employee will have to be paid for this statutory holiday.
The stat. holidays calculation NEVER TAKES into account the current period or the week containing the stat. holidays.

  1. Access his file,
  2. In the Parameters > Work Parameters,
