How can I add holiday hours to the ledger so they can be paid for a Holiday?

Add the holiday pay type to your employee's profile and enter their holiday hours during payroll. This will automatically post to your ledger as wages. And yes, this works for new hires too.

1. Navigate to All apps and click Payroll.
2. Select Employees, then click on the employee's name.

4. Click Add and search for Holiday pay.
5. Select Save.
6. Repeat this process for each employee, including new hires.
