From our payroll expert, Alan McEwan:
- Yes, there should be an accrual on all earnings, even on the regular pay while on vacation, as at the year-end, it’s still necessary to test whether what was paid is at least what has been accrued on vacationable earnings. This particularly affects employees who get exception pay, such as commissions or overtime, that are vacationable.
- Not sure really what is being asked. But if you wanted to credit employees with 15 vacation days at the start of each year, when they take vacation time, you reduce both the regular hours and the credited vacation hours, by the vacation time taken. You would still need to ensure that the actual dollars made met the provincial minimums.
Glenn again here: We’ll try to be faster the next time. Thanks for your patience.
