Setting up a Premium Day rate table for holiday pay

You can set up a Premium Day rate table for holiday pay. You define the table’s rows or columns by Premium Day. Then you record a rate for Holidays (HOL) and/or Holidays on Weekends (HOLWKND).

You can use the Premium Day option for primary or secondary rate tables that create pay in the Trip Settlements Folder when you run the compute function. You can base these rates on distance, flat amount, etc.

  1. Premium Day holiday rates create holiday pay for each trip that falls on a holiday. So, if a driver has five trips that fall on a holiday, the holiday pay rate is applied five times, one for each trip.

  2. If the holiday rate is based on mileage, and the trip extends multiple days, one of which is a holiday, all mileage from all days is paid the premium, not just the miles driven on the holiday.

Creating a flat rate for Premium Day holiday pay

You can set up a pay type for use with a flat accessorial pay rate.

You could use that pay type to set up a flat secondary pay rate. This rate calculates additional pay when a stop on a trip falls on a holiday. For this rate:

  • The holiday schedule is specified in the Holidays field.

    Note: Before creating your Premium Day rates for holidays, you must set up a holiday schedule specifying the days eligible for holiday pay.

  • The rate table’s rows are defined by Premium Day. Two rates are recorded in the table:

    • HOL (Holiday) pays $60 accessorial pay

    • HOLWKND (Holiday on Weekend) pays $80 accessorial pay
