What payroll code should be entered into the time reporting system for employees on military leave during a holiday?

The correct response is that employees on military leave during a holiday should use the payroll code indicating "Holiday - Did Not Work." This code is specifically designed to account for situations where an employee is entitled to holiday benefits but is unable to work due to military obligations.

When an employee is on military leave, they are actively serving and are not available to work, including during holidays. By using the "Holiday - Did Not Work" code, the payroll system accurately reflects that the employee did not work on that holiday due to being on military leave, thus ensuring their time is accounted for appropriately without penalizing the employee for their service.

In contrast, other codes like "Military Leave - Holiday Pay" may imply that the employee is receiving pay specifically for the holiday while on military leave, which is not typically how these scenarios are treated under standard policies. Similarly, "Holiday - Worked" suggests that the employee worked during the holiday, which does not apply in this case, and "Leave without Pay" incorrectly denotes that the employee is not entitled to any pay for the holiday, even though they are on military leave status. Therefore, the use of "Holiday - Did Not Work" accurately captures the situation and preserves the rights of the employee while they fulfill
