Configuring the Holidays tab

The Holidays tab contains parameters that define how Holiday Absence Hours and Clocked Hours on a Holiday are to be treated.

Specify this information:

Holiday ABS Code: Specify a default holiday absence code. This is the absence code that will be generated when the A icon is used for a holiday report date or when the Holiday Generator is run. Only codes that are configured as Holiday ABS types may be entered on Holiday Report Dates.
Use Holiday Calendar: If the check box is selected, the Holiday Calendar is used to specify which report dates are Holiday Report Dates.
Report Date Adjustment: Holidays may be configured with a Report Date Adjustment of Previous or Next. If this parameter is selected and the employee is on a shift where the Holiday Report Date falls on a Non-Working Day the holiday is moved to the Next or Previous Work Day. If the Holiday is configured with a Report Date Adjustment of None, regardless of the setting of this parameter the Holiday is not moved. If this parameter is cleared, irrespective of the Holiday configuration, the Holiday is not moved. The direction of the offset is defined in the holiday report date configuration.
Check Holiday Eligibility: If this parameter is selected the previous scheduled work day is checked to determine if a full day was worked. If a full day was worked, the holiday absence is generated and put into a Ready status. If a full day was not worked, the holiday absence will go into an exception status. If you clear this option, no check of the previous work day will be performed.
Allow Clock In: Select to allow clock ins on holiday report dates and to display the Clocked Hours On A Holiday portion of the Holiday Tab.
Clocked Hours On Holiday OT Eligible: Select to count clocked hours on a holiday towards the Overtime Thresholds specified in the employee’s shift configuration.
Clocked Hours Work Code: If you specify Regular, Overtime, or Double Time, this sets how the hours categorize regardless of where they occur or how many hours there are for the week. If you specify OT Eligible, clocked hours on a holiday will categorize per the OT Method specified in the employee’s shift configuration.

Regular Hrs, Overtime Hrs, Double Time Hrs: Configure this field only if hours are booked against shifts that contain a Daily component in the OT Method. Specify the number of Regular, Overtime and Double time to authorize using the HHMM format.
Overtime Before Shift and Double Time Before shift: Configure this field only if hours are booked against Static shift types that contain a Daily component in the OT Method. Specify the number of Overtime Before Shift and Double Time Before Shift to authorize using the HHMM format.
Premium Codes - Regular, OT, DT, OT Before Shift and DT Before Shift: When premiums are applied to Clocked Hours on a Holiday, specify the premium code for each hours type.
Include Clocked Hrs with Non-Hol Clocked Hrs: Select Include Clocked Hrs with Non-Hol Clocked Hrs to display hours clocked on a holiday in payroll along with hours clocked on non-holiday report dates. If this option is not selected, payroll ID fields appear for each work code and hours will appear separately in payroll.
If you clear the Include Clocked Hrs with Non-Hol Clocked Hrs option, specify values in each Payroll Code field. These values will serve as the identifier of the hours type in payroll. These values will appear adjacent to the clocked hours on a holiday in the payroll extract.
