Contents of the Non-Work Days Form

Use the Non-Work Days form in either Resource Planning Settings or Time Settings to identify the days of the week on which your employees normally do not work and to specify your holidays.

Entries that you make on either form are update on both forms.

On timesheets, non-work days and holidays are highlighted, but employees can still enter time for them.

When DPS spreads planned hours for you in Resource Planning, non-work days and holidays are allocated no hours, but planners can still assign planned hours to them.

Field Description
Active company If you have multiple companies, the active company displays at the top of the form. If that company is not the company for which you want to specify non-work days, select the correct company from the drop-down list on the DPS toolbar.
Non-Work Days Select the check boxes for the days of the week that your employees normally do not work.
Holidays grid Use this grid to specify the holidays or other special days on which your employees do not normally work.
Date

Click in this field and specify the date of the holiday. If you add holidays in an order other than chronologically, you can click the heading for this column to sort the grid rows by date.

Type Select the type of time off: Holiday or Other.
Description Enter the name or other description of the holiday.
To create a copy of a holiday immediately below it, hover over the row and click this icon. If a holiday includes two days, for example, you can add the first day, copy it for the second day of the holiday, and then change the date for the new row to the next day.

You can also use the copy feature if you want to create rows for a particular holiday for several years at one time. You can then change the dates and sort the grid based on date if you want to list the holidays in chronological order.
