Is stat pay average calculated by quickbooks or does this require manual entry?

Hi usershawn,

Welcome to Community!  QuickBooks Online Payroll calculates the statutory holiday pay based on government guidelines for each province. With this being mandatory, it's automatically added to your employee profiles, so you can pay them with peace of mind.

1. Navigate to Payroll, then Employees

2. Select the employee

3. Click on the Edit  in the Pay types section and confirm that Stat pay is check marked

4. Hit Save.

To determine the amount, you'll use the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator.  When you run payroll, you'll need to enter the dollar amount in the Stat pay field. 

Should you require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us outside of Community. It would be our pleasure to work with you in real time and ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks Online Payroll goals as soon as possible!

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. We would be happy to help!

Quickbooks does no calculations, it simply has the pay item "stat holiday-avg". So this I assume requires manual calculations using the government guidelines along with manual entry, no automation from quickbooks...correct?

Hi there usershawn, 

I can provide some information about entering stat pay. You would need to enter the amount of stat holiday pay hours you'd like to pay, so the calculation would need to be done manually.
