Setting up holiday schedules

Navigate to Settings > Timesheets > Holiday Schedules, and select Create New Schedule. Enter a unique name, choose whether to copy the setup from an existing schedule, and enter a calendar year before selecting Create. For best results, there should be a new holiday schedule created each year.

After creating the holiday schedule, select it in the dropdown menu towards the top of the page. Holidays can then be added to the schedule by selecting Add Holiday. Enter a unique name, select whether the holiday applies to weekends, and enter a start and end date. The holiday's duration can be set to reflect the pay group default or a custom duration. Enter the start time and select Add.

Setting up holiday codes

Navigate to Settings > Timesheets > Time Codes, and select Create Time Code. Enter a unique name, ensure the Holiday type is selected, and select a Payroll Earning Code. Note that a payroll earning code must be set up first before it can be associated with a holiday code.

Choose whether to send the holiday entries to payroll, and select an HR Time Code if applicable. Like the payroll earning code, an HR time code must be set up first. Choose whether the holiday code counts towards overtime or double time, who can edit the holiday's timesheet entries, and set up a differential schedule if necessary before selecting Save.

Adding holiday schedules to pay groups

Navigate to Settings > Timesheets > Pay Groups, and select the pay group's name. Choose the desired schedule in the Holiday Schedule dropdown menu.

Select Time Codes in the left-hand menu. Choose the desired holiday code in the Holiday dropdown menu.

Select Shift Settings in the left-hand menu. Set the holiday duration, and select Save All Changes.

Now, holidays will automatically be added to employee's timesheets!
