Company Maintenance - Holidays

This field will not display a value in Company Maintenance.

Holiday Dates Grid

This grid displays the list of dates the company will be closed.

Holiday Details

Grid Action Buttons

Add Row

Click this button to add a new, blank row for the purpose of entering a new date in the grid.

The system does not roll holidays forward, so you will need to "manually" enter company holidays for each year.

Newly added holidays will not be available to copy until you save all the way out of Company Maintenance.

Copy To An Employee(s)

Click this button to begin the process of copying one or more dates from the Company List to one or more employees.

If you add a new holiday and intend to Copy To An Employee(s), you must save out of company maintenance before you can copy the holiday to other employees.

Copy From An Employee

Click this button to begin the process of copying one or more dates from an employee to the Company List.

For more information see Copy Dates To And From Employees.

Delete

Click this button to delete the selected date from the grid.

  • Only one date can be deleted at a time.
Grid Values

Date

Enter the date of the holiday in this field.

Description

Enter the name of the holiday in this field for reference.

  • Nationally recognized holidays that fall on fixed dates, such as Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, will automatically populate the Description field.

Attendance Code

Enter the Attendance Code to use on time records created for the holiday.

Time Start / Time Stop

These values indicate the times used on time records created for the holiday.

  • The system automatically populates these values after a date is entered based on the values assigned to Shift 1.

Hours

This lists the number of hours the employee will be paid for.

  • The system calculates this value based on the start and end times present.
  • If there are no start and end times, this value defaults to 8.

Pay Rate [0-10]

This represents the Pay Rate used on the attendance tickets created for the employees.

  • This value defaults to the first Pay Rate defined on the Company Maintenance screen and will likely need to be edited for each date entered.

Overtime

This value determines whether the time should be paid as overtime (Y) or regular hours (N.)

GL Acct

This is the GL account used for payroll purposes.

Shift [1-3]

This value defaults to 1 and can be left that way for purposes of holiday pay even if you have multiple shifts defined.

  • Changing the Shift removes start and end times and the value entered for Hours.
