For compressed work weeks, do you compute holiday pay from the daily equivalent, scheduled hours, or another internal rule?

Start from the legal basis, then document the company policy for scheduled hours. The important part is consistency and a clear audit trail.

We keep a sample computation in the payroll checklist so approvers understand why compressed schedules differ from regular eight-hour shifts.

Set the schedule pattern correctly before the holiday. Retroactive schedule fixes are where most calculation disputes start.
