Holidayable | To specify how you want to handle split pay for holidays, choose the relevant option. | Method | Choose the split payment method you want to use. If you choose Bank Transfer, you must also enter the relevant bank details. For example, the employee's IBAN and BIC. | Title | Enter a name for this split payment method.

Common split pay formulae > - NETP*0.50 - This formula multiplies the employee's net pay by 0.50 = Half of the employee's net pay
- NETP/2 - This formula divides the employee's total net pay by 2 = Half of the employee's total net pay
- NETP*0.25 - This formula multiplies the employee's total net pay by 0.25 = Quarter of the employee's total net pay
- NETP/4 - This formula divides the employee's total net pay by 4 = Quarter of the employee's total net pay
