PDFfiller!
PDFfiller! This software overall is really well done. I prefer to use it when compared to other PDF filling software. It is also free, which is even better. This software does all the hard work for you. It recognizes each possible area for text, and understand if there is an area for a diagram/picture/drawing instead. This software gives you multiple different ways to input your signature as well, which is always something I look for when it comes to similar software. Grammarly also works moderately well with this software, if that is something you use. PDFfiller looks very busy. Even though it is relatively easy to use, it can seem daunting when you first start using this software.

Questions & answers

Holiday pay is computed at the employee's current base rate of pay. If an employee is scheduled to work on a holiday, the employee will be paid his or her regular rate of pay plus eight hours of holiday pay. Holidays will not be paid to employees on any type of unpaid leave.
Your holiday pay should be the same as what you normally earn including any regular overtime, commission or bonus.
Federal holidays are only established for certain federally chartered and regulated businesses, government contractors, and the city of Washington, DC. All other public holidays are created by the States. most states also allow local jurisdictions (cities, villages, etc.) to establish their own local holidays.
If you offer time-and-a-half pay for working on a holiday, you simply take the employee's regular hourly rate and add half of that rate. For example, if an employee's regular pay rate is $12 per hour, their holiday pay would be $18 per hour.
Hours worked on holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays are treated like hours worked on any other day of the week. California law does not require that an employer provide its employees with paid holidays, that it close its business on any holiday, or that employees be given the day off for any particular holiday.
Paid holidays are national, state, or religious holidays that employers can choose to give as paid days off to their employees. There is no federal law requiring employers to give their employees paid holidays as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) only regulates minimum wage and overtime pay.
