I would like to set Holiday Salary up as a permanent item on a salary employee just to ensure I do not click on the incorrect payment type. When I add it it is putting in the entire salary amount. Is this something I can not do?
Hi @Candi26,
Could you provide a little more detail on what you mean the entire salary amount is being added to the item? What are the exact steps to replicate this and provide a screenshot if necessary, please.
I can definitely help you add the Holiday item to the pay setup of the employee, but I would just like clarification around this please.
Thank you.
Lucas
Hi @Candi26
In terms of setting a default Pay item for an employee, please check this out - Setting default pay items and amounts for employees in Reckon Payroll - web - Reckon Help and Support Centre
I hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out if any concerns. Thank you!

Hi @Lucas
say I enter Salary pay $50,000, then I want to add Holiday Salary as a pay item, when I add it, it also displays $50,000. I'd like to not have an amount next to it and add the amount if the employee was to use holiday hours.
@Lucas
I left the Holiday Salary at $50,000 and did a test pay. Now the pay automatically defaults to 40 hrs Holiday Salary.
Just to clarify, do you want this holiday salary item to automatically appear in the pay run along with the employee's other default pay items so that you can then add any relevant holiday pay (if required)?
Like this example below? (Just imagine the Test Earn pay item listed in my screenshot as your Holiday Salary) item.
Hi @Rav
Yes that is exactly what I am trying to do :)
Ok cool thanks @Candi26
I think this should be easy enough to setup đ First head into the employee's Pay Setup screen and add the specific earning item, in this case your holiday item, then tick the Override option and set the Rate and Quantity values to $0.00 (example below).
Once that is done, go through and save the employee's profile.
The next time you create a pay run for this employee, select the option to Use Default Pay Items (which I'm guessing you're already doing).
The new holiday item will appear in the pay run ready for you to enter any balances (or you can just leave it as $0.00 if its not applicable in that pay run) along with any other default pay items that have been set for the employee.
Let me know if that ticks off what you're looking for đ
@Rav
Thanks Rav, but my employee setup does not look like that. I do not have the override option. I am using Reckon Accounts Hosted 2024
Ah ok, your post was created in the Reckon Payroll category which is a completely separate software which is for the setup above. I've moved your post over to the Reckon Accounts Hosted category instead and we'll test it out and let you know đ
