Payroll in Surrey
What a Surrey payroll actually looks like
Surrey has about 570,000 people, and with construction and trades at the centre of its economy and agriculture and health care behind it, the range of employment on one bookkeeper's desk is about as wide as it gets in Canada. Salaried staff on semi-monthly, hourly staff on bi-weekly, and somebody who started on Tuesday and needs a record of employment by Friday.
The detail that decides how a Surrey pay run behaves is this: Surrey has the fastest-growing workforce in the province and a young one, which means a lot of part-time retail and apprenticed trades on the same pay run — so hourly and salaried staff end up on the same run, with overtime and premiums kept as their own pay codes.
The August long weekend
The first Monday in August in Surrey
British Columbia Day is a statutory holiday in British Columbia. Eligible employees are owed public holiday pay, and BooksAuto works the entitlement out from what they earned in the weeks before it, shows it as its own line on the pay stub, and keeps it out of the hours that count towards overtime.
For most employers in Surrey — construction and trades included — the practical question is just whether the Monday is paid and what goes on the stub. Set it once at the company level and every pay run after it follows the same rule.
Employment standards change. Confirm the current position with the Employment Standards Branch before you rely on it for a pay run.
