Configuring the Payroll Calendar driver

The Payroll Calendar driver file contains the number of work hours per month for payroll budgeting.

NOTE: This is the only driver document that does not require user input.

Work hours per month are calculated in two ways:

• Standard hours: Standard hours are applied to salaried employees. The formula assumes four 40-hour work weeks per month. It is calculated as 2080/12 for each month.

• Administrative hours: Administrative hours are applied to employees that are paid hourly and are based on the number of work days per month. The work days per month are queried from the Calendar.WorkdayCount column and is adjusted for Federal holidays and client-specific holidays.
