Holiday Calendar

The Holiday Calendar form allows you to create, configure, and manage custom Holiday Calendars. Holiday Calendars are used by the ATTENDANCE service to post holidays to employee timecards.

A Holiday Calendar can be assigned to a person in the following ways:

  1. On the Holiday tab of an Attendance Policy. The Attendance Policy can then be assigned to all users as a System Setting, to specific Employee Groups, or to individual Employees.

  2. In the Holiday Calendar Override setting. The calendar in this setting will take precedence over the Holiday Calendar defined in the person’s Attendance Policy. The Holiday Calendar Override can be assigned to an Employee or an Employee Group of type FACILITY or POLICY_GROUP.

A Holiday Calendar is individual date-based; you cannot define a range of dates in the calendar, but must add single holiday dates separately.
