Worked Example

Let's calculate holiday pay for an employee with an annual salary of $50,000 who worked 5 holiday days in 2019.

Daily Pay Rate = $50,000 ÷ 260 = $192.31

Holiday Pay = $192.31 × 5 = $961.55

This employee would receive $961.55 in holiday pay for working 5 days during the 2019 holiday season.
