QuickBooks Pro Desktop Payroll Canada - Stat Holiday Pay

Hi there, @Hillcrest2.

You can use either of the methods as long as the amount of the holiday pay is correct. If you wish to enter 1 hour worked, then input the designated or full amount for the statutory holiday pay. Otherwise, you can divide the total figure once you divide the number of hours.

It won't make any difference to your record given that the calculations are accurate.

We pay out 4% vacation pay on each payroll period.

Is vacation pay to be calculated on Holiday/Stat total and if so how can the 4% be automatically calculated as is calculated with Hourly wage?

Hi v_wakonig.

In order to find out if vacation pay should be calculated on your holiday/stat days I recommend reaching out to the CRA or your accountant as they would be the ones to be able to answer this question. You can reach the CRA by following the steps in this link.

If you don't have an accountant you can find one in your area by going to our Find an Accountant page.

If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.
