Holiday Counters Definitions for Fixed Holidays
The following is a short description of settings that can help you define the yearly entitlement holiday card status.
Step 1. Go to Configuration - Holiday Settings and add a holiday counter, e.g. Fixed holiday, with positive values, measured in both days and hours:

Definitions for a fixed holiday counter in Holiday settings in Astrow Web
|
Name: The name of the holiday counter.
Holiday type: The holiday type, fixed or accrual.
T Counter: An extra T counter to be added to holiday. You can also add here a multiplying definition (e.g. 50% extra time). You can also add simple formulas, e.g. T6%150, and the counter value will be multiplied by 150% before it is added to the holiday counter.
|
|
Please note that if you link T counters, their expression is in hours; therefore the check for the holiday counter should be made for hours or days and hours, not only days! Do not link a T counter to a holiday definition only in days!
|
If you link a T Counter to a holiday counter, the T Counter value will be used to calculate the holiday entitlement. These calculated hours will be shown in the holiday card (see View Own Holiday Card).
REMARKS:
· You can only link a T counter to a holiday counter that can be taken in hours.
· To avoid possible errors, the negative values of the T counter will not be used; only the positive counter values will be added to the holiday counter.
· You cannot connect the same T counter twice to the same holiday counter, e.g. in Configuration - Holiday Settings and in the absence linked to this holiday counter.
C Counter: An extra C counter to be added to the accrual (e.g. extra full days).
Days left positive: If checked, the holiday will be taken in days, and the balance can not go negative.
Days left negative: If checked, the holiday will be taken in days, and the balance can also go negative.
Hours left positive: If checked, the holiday will be taken in hours, and the balance can not go negative.
Hours left negative: If checked, the holiday will be taken in hours, and the balance can also go negative.
Step 2. Go to the absence definition of annual holiday. Link the holiday to the counter defined and make sure that ESS options are selected:

Step 3. Go to the personal definition of an employee that uses ESS, Employees - New/Edit Employee - Holiday tab, and add the holiday entitlement.
Next, go to the personal definition of the person using ESS, Holiday tab, and add the holiday entitlement, days or hours, as you defined the counter.
