Public holidays are necessary to calculate the correct target working hours for employees. For the following countries, public holidays are automatically taken into account (the Employee simply needs to be assigned to the correct Region):
- België
- Česká republika
- Deutschland
- España
- France
- Ireland
- Italia
- Magyarország
- Nederland
- Österreich
- Polska
- Portugal
- Schweiz
- Slovensko
- United Kingdom
Custom public holidays can be entered here manually, which are then taken into account for other regions or additionally in the regions listed above.
The holiday dialog contains the following fields:
- Holiday type: Type of the holiday.
- Name: Name of the holiday.
- Date: The date of the holiday (this is the first date of the series for recurring holidays).
- Valid until (optional): End date of the series for recurring holidays. For endless series, simply leave the field blank.
- Annual recurrence: Specifies whether the holiday repeats every year.
- Regions: Select the regions for which this holiday applies. Select "All regions" if the holiday applies to all regions.
The Holiday type determines how the holiday affects the employee's vacation balance:
- Standard: The holiday is treated as a statutory public holiday.
- Full day company holiday: Employees have the entire day off, and one day is deducted from their vacation balance.
- Company holiday half vacation day: Employees have the entire day off, but only half a day is deducted from their vacation balance (often used on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve).
- Half day company holiday: Employees have half the day off, and half a day is deducted from their vacation balance.
