Holiday shutdown 2022/23: A checklist for HR and Payroll professionals

12/20/2022

For most employees, the holiday season is a time for regrouping and rejuvenation, but not for HR and Payroll professionals. The end-of-the-year shutdown period presents HR and Payroll professionals with many challenges. Our consultants have identified some issues that need to be addressed.
1. Shutdown period preparation
- Establish shutdown dates and communicate them to all employees
- Incorporate these dates into your payroll system so that public holidays are appropriately accounted for
- Communication of the procedure for requesting leave during the shutdown. 

2. Rostering
- Finalising rosters in advance and maintaining backup lists with contact information and availability
- The preparation of skeleton staff schedules and the provision of contact information for relevant persons in case of an emergency. 

3. Recruitment, onboarding, and offboarding
- Delaying new starters to commence employment from the first business day of the new year
- Onboarding new employees by completing the necessary paperwork
- Retrieving office equipment from employees leaving the organisation during the shutdown. 

4. Payroll and Finance
- Establishing the final year-end pay run date and advising employees
- Implementing changes to awards effective January 1, 2023, to ensure systems reflect those changes
- Tracking terminations of employees during the shutdown period to avoid overpayments.
