Holiday Pay/Fees

Holiday Pay/Fees

There are a few options to consider regarding holidays and paying caregivers/billing clients.  Below are some settings within Aaniie to help your agency go about this.


Enabling/Disabling Holiday Pay

1. Menu > Settings > Site Settings
2. Navigate to the Accounting section and select Enable Paid Holidays (or de-select to disable holiday pay) setting.


If you would like to disable holiday pay for caregivers, as well as, billing clients for holiday hours entirely, select Disable All Holiday Pay/Fees within this same section.


Recognized Holidays

Now that holidays have been enabled, it is up to your agency to decide which holidays to pay/bill the holiday rate for.  To do so:

1) Menu > Settings > Recognized Holidays
2) Here, you can select/de-select which holidays you would like to be recognized in your system.  You will also notice there is an option to exempt clients from being charged the holiday rate if you wish to do so.



Custom Holidays

If there are additional holidays that your agency would like implemented into the system (i.e., Company Anniversary, Earth Day, etc.,), you can add these by using Custom Holidays.

1) Menu > Settings > Custom Holidays
2) Click the paper and pencil icon to create your Custom Holiday
3) From there, you can add your criteria for this holiday such as the date; whether it's a partial day or full day holiday; and even which shift, staff, and/or clients it should apply to.


Holiday Rates and Overtime

By default, Holiday Pay is set to time & a half for both clients and staff.  If your agency would like to pay/bill holidays at doubletime, you can do so by:

1) Menu > Settings > Site Settings
2) Navigate to the Accounting section and select Pay/Bill Holidays at Doubletime instead of Time+Half setting.


There may be instances where a caregiver or client enters into Overtime on a holiday shift.  Within Aaniie, you have the option to either pay/bill them the standard time and a half rate or you can choose to pay/bill them a premium, doubletime rate.  To do so:

1) Menu > Settings > Site Settings
2) Navigate to the Accounting section and select Pay/Bill Holidays in Addition to Overtime setting.  If this setting is unchecked, overlapping overtime and holiday hours will be paid/billed at time and a half.  If checked, overlapping overtime and holiday hours will be paid/billed at doubletime.



Please note: if making any changes to your holiday settings that will affect shifts currently on the schedule, you will need to Recalculate Figures for those shifts to update them with the proper fees/wages.
