how to prorate vacation hours
So, for example, if an employee has two vacation weeks a year, complete the formula as follows: (2 x 40) / (52 - 2) = 80 / 50 = 1.6 hours of vacation per 40 hours. It's helpful to know this rate to prorate vacation time for an employee who did not work the full year. To calculate vacation time rate for a specific pay period, use the following formula: VW x 40 / PP = AR per pay period. PP represents the number of pay periods per year.
