Holidays
Creating a WAR document for a holiday
A public holiday represents a general leave of absence from a regular occupation. Hence, there are usually no work schemes involved. If you have to work on a holiday, you will normally earn overtime from the minute you start working. A typical WAR document for a holiday would therefore look like the one below.
Note that the field type is set to public holiday, and that a new field has become visible to specify which public holiday this is
The content of the Public holiday field is taken from the Day archive. The content of the Public holiday field will only contain the remaining holidays for the current year, so May 17th will disappear from the list on May 18th.
If the customer is using both full flex and no flex as flex method, a public WAR must be created for both
Method for one public holiday: If most of the ordinary WARs have flex method=full flex, you must create a default WSR. With public holidays WAR with full flex. The other ordinary war's with flex method=no flex must get their own public WARs. This is done from the WSR (public holidays folder) that the ordinary WARs are linked to.
Making copies of WAR documents for public holidays
To save time, WAR documents for any remaining public holidays can most effectively be created from copies of the first one. Just make sure that the holidays have been properly described in the Day archive in advance:
In the WAR document:
Press F12 to open the action menu and choose the Copy to new WAR option.
A copy is created in status 1.
Adjust the Valid from date.
Select the name of the public holiday, and change the description.
To register the document:
Press F12 and choose the Register (St=3) option.
