Scheduled Holidays

Define company holidays once and apply them automatically to your employees' time cards.

Scheduled Holidays is a free feature you can enable in the Feature Manager. Once enabled and assigned to users, holidays can be defined in one place and applied automatically.

Step 1 Activate Scheduled Holidays

Activate the feature in the Feature Manager. When you activate it, you'll be asked if you want to enable Scheduled Holidays for all users. This is the only time you'll be asked that; you can always enable or disable it for individual users afterward.

Step 2 Enable Scheduled Holidays Per Employee

The Use Scheduled Holidays option only appears in an employee's profile once the feature is enabled. Choose whether to use Scheduled Holidays and which Holiday Rule applies to each employee.
