Configuring Holidays

To configure holidays:

Specify whether to configure holidays by facility or by site.

To specify holidays by facility, click Facility Holidays on the General tab of the Facilities form.

To specify holidays by site, click Site Holidays on the Calendar Setup tab of the Site Parameters form.

Note: You also can configure new holidays or view existing holidays by double-clicking the report date in the Facility and Site calendars. Holidays defined from the Site calendar will be Site holidays, while holidays defined from the Facility calendar will be facility holidays.
On the Holidays form, select a row from the grid at left, then specify this information:

Date

Specify the date on which a holiday will occur.

Facility

If you are creating a Facility holiday, specify the facility that will observe this holiday. If you are creating a site holiday, this field is unavailable.

Description

Specify a brief description of the holiday.

Process Vacation Hours

Select to allow employees to take vacation hours on a holiday.

Report Date Adjustment

Specify Previous, Next, or None. If a holiday falls on a non-working day for an employee, the Report Date Adjustment value specifies whether the holiday will be adjusted to the prior working day, the subsequent working day, or not adjusted. For example, a shift week that starts on Tuesday may have Monday and Tuesday defined as non-working days. When Report Date Adjustment is set to None or the employee type has this parameter deselected, programs that automatically generate holiday absence hours would not do so for employees on this shift.
