How do holiday schedules work?

When you create a holiday schedule, you set it to reference the payroll earning code that employees charge to on time cards. You enter the date and the number of hours for each holiday. Whenever an employee creates a new time card that contains a date referenced in the holiday schedule, e-timecard automatically inserts entries.

Once you create a holiday schedule, you must enter it on the Employee Types screen for each employee type that uses the schedule. The employee type setting defaults into the employee’s master record. You can make changes on the Employee Details screen when the holiday schedule set for the employee type is not appropriate for a specific employee.

Hint: You can set only one holiday schedule for each employee type. We recommend that you vary holiday schedules when you establish your employee types.

You can also set up employee types to prorate the hours from the holiday schedule based on the employee’s full-time percent.
