Example of Holiday Counter Definition

 
As an example here is a situation in which the employer wants to compensate an employee working in weekend with 150% spare time (to add holiday, not to deduct it).
 
In this example, first define the counter you want to add the time the employee worked in weekend in Configuration - Counter definition:
 
Example compensating working in weekend with 150% time - Counter definition
 
Then link it to an overtime definition. Go to Configuration - Overtime Groups and define the overtime. You can define that everything that it's worked in weekend to be counted as overtime and added in counter T6.

Next link the overtime to a weekend working program. Go to Configuration - Day Programs and define a weekend program.

Next, link the day program to a cycle in Configuration - Cycles:
 
Example compensating working in weekend with 150% time - Cycle definition
 
And then link the cycle to an employee definition (see Set Cycle). 
 
Define your holiday counter to be compensated with 150% spare time (in Configuration - Holiday Settings). This will add the time worked in weekend in a holiday counter multiplied with 1.5.

Then go to the absence definition of the absence you will use to extract from. Link the holiday counter defined and make sure that ESS options are selected in the absence definition. Do NOT add to regular and also do NOT link the T counter again!

Link the holiday to employees in Configuration - Employees - New/Edit employee - tab Holiday:

Now if the employee works in weekend, the time will be added 150% in his holiday card. In the example below the employee worked Saturday 11 October 2014 from 20:20 to 23:30 (BAL = 3:10) and Saturday 06 December from 08:56 to 11:45 (BAL = 2:49). The time was added as holiday in the holiday card:
