Name: The name of the bank holiday definition. If the Automatic name is checked, the application will assign a name, e.g. 7 March 2019 ( ??).
Day program: Select any available day program from the list or select ?? – Cycle DP. The bank holiday will change the day program with the one selected in the defined days. If you select the option ?? - Cycle DP, the bank holiday will keep the day program.
Start/End date: The interval the bank holiday definition applies. For recurrent bank holidays, the end date can be left blank.
Occurrence: The occurrence parameters enable you to specify how a holiday will be applied. Depending on the choice you made, you will have two or three available input fields to enter the date of a holiday.
Recurrent: If the bank holidays are recurrent. Please note they will be recurrent until the end date.
One time: If the bank holidays are defined just once.
Non-working day: This option enables you to specify how the system should react if this holiday falls on a non-working day, e.g. where the 1st January is a Sunday. We have 3 options:
Select Next working day to move this holiday to the next working day, e.g. if the 1st January is a Sunday, this holiday will be moved to Monday.
Select Next [day] to move this holiday to the next day, e.g. move this holiday to the next Friday.
Select Don’t assign holiday if you want to move this holiday manually to another day.
The option Assign holiday depends on the day program selected above. If you choose a different day program, this option will treat the bank holiday different than a normal non-working day. For example, Easter Sunday can be paid differently than any other Sunday.
Absence: Here you can add an absence code to this holiday. This way you can define the number of hours (in case of a paid holiday) to be saved in a time item. If you do not add an absence code, no hours will be registered.
