Need to have a column for statutory pay on payroll cheque run

We have over a dozen statutory holidays in Canada. So 12 of the 26 pay periods are affected by statutory pay. But the payroll cheque run feature does not have a column to insert statutory pay. as a result, we have to do those pay runs manually. this defeats the purpose of having a payroll cheque run feature. Why can you not fix the columns available and have an option to turn them on or off in payroll settings?

    Cindy, do you use the payroll cheque run feature? We are not able to add stat pay on pay cheques using the payroll cheque run. So we have to enter each cheque manually. Why would you say we don't need this feature? It is already setup as a type of income but we can't use it on the payroll cheque run. I have confirmed this with Sage support staff.

    In my opinion, we don't need this feature. Statutory holiday pay is an income type like any other for payroll purposes, and you can add statutory holiday pay as an income type in payroll.
