Holiday Sets

Typically, Holiday Sets are defined to contain the holidays in the different provinces, states or countries within your organization.

For example, an organization may have sites located in Canada and Australia; each site would contain a group of holidays observed in that specific country.

When a Holiday occurs, every User assigned to that Holiday Set automatically has their Timesheet updated for that day, with the default working hours logged. The way this occurs is through the Automation Processing Service, run at the beginning of each period. Therefore, if a period is defined as weekly (Monday through Sunday), the Automation Processing Service verifies the occurrence of a Holiday for the period, and if it is the case, it populates users' timesheets.

Note: If Friday of the current period is a statutory Holiday, and you defined that Holiday on the Wednesday, the Timesheets are not automatically populated. The configuration of Holidays must be done prior to the Period's Start date.

In order for the application to process the Holiday information, the Automation Processing must be running, and the Process Holidays Automation Service must be selected within the Automation Processing Options (Setup > Organization > System) page.

The articles within this section describe how to setup and configure Holiday Sets.
