Any activity configured as “not able to be scheduled on a holiday” will automatically skip days that are Holidays. For instance, if the employee has a standard work schedule from Monday – Friday, it will skip any Holiday between those days. Also if an employee requests Annual Leave for a block of days, the request will automatically skip Holidays.
Certain activities may be configured to be available on Holidays, such as “Working (Holiday)”, “OT (Holiday)” etc., whereby the rate of wage is typically set higher than regular working days.
All published national holidays for the company country selected shall appear by default in the holiday's settings. The Admin may choose to remove holidays or add more holidays as they wish.
APPLYING CONVERSION RULES
You must select which employees for which Holiday Rules will apply.
Employee profile > Employment Info > Attendance > Follow holiday rules.
If the employee does not have "Follow holiday rules" enabled, then no activities will be automatically converted on such holidays.
BULK LEAVE REQUEST
Bulk Leave Request enables you to force a joint holiday for a group of employees at once.
- Filter Employees: select the Employee Type, Department, Branch or Group that the bulk leave will apply to
- Select Leave: select the Duration, Dates and Leave Type
- Description: leave a description so employees know why a group leave has been requested
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Bulk Leave Requests should be requested by an Administrator with adequate User Rights to auto-approve leave if the leave is being “forced” and does not require approvals
- If any employee does not have adequate balance for the leave requested, the balance will then become negative
