If you’re a small business owner, balancing work with the holidays can be challenging. Employees will be filtering in and out of the office, and as an employer, it is your responsibility to be accountable for their attendance, and honor any promises you’ve made about paid time off. It’s standard for employers to give employees paid time off on the major federal holidays, though it is not required.

However, it can be difficult to keep track of the holidays and how to allocate payments. Luckily, FingerCheck’s versatile time tracking system allows you to manage holiday time off with ease, and you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like.

1. Holiday Policy Creation

With FingerCheck, you can easily create a holiday policy that holds automatically paid holidays, and add rules that tell the system whether the holiday is a working holiday, whether the employee receives automatic pay, and even whether the employee receives additional pay on top of automatic pay. Creating a holiday policy essentially puts holiday management on autopilot so that the system knows when and how to allocated holiday time to your staff.

2. Mass Enter Option

Or, if you’d like a more laid-back approach, you can mass enter hours for your employees all at once and select the earning code and earning type to apply.

Finally, you can enter holiday hours directly into an employee’s timesheet by clicking on Enter Hours.

Managing time off during the holidays is easy with FingerCheck! Feel free to call our technical support at 1-800-610-9501 if you have any questions.
