Yes, employees should request holiday pay through the Workforce app to ensure it is properly recorded. If holiday pay is not requested through the app, it will likely not appear on the PTO list in the QuickBooks Time report.
If employees forget to request holiday pay through the Workforce app, you should manually enter the holiday hours in the Time module. This will ensure the hours appear when running the report and that holiday pay is correctly processed.
When holiday pay is entered within the same payroll period, there is no negative impact. Scheduling holiday in the Time module is not required if you only apply the holiday payroll item to paychecks for days with holiday pay.
If an employee does not qualify, you don't need to enter or approve holiday hours for them. Instead, enter only their regular pay.
