National and Organisation holidays

You can view National and Organisational holidays by going to the schedule creation calendar. To view a list of the registered National and organisational holidays in the system, go to System > Absence & Breaks > Organisation Holidays. Here, you can add new organisational holidays and view the National Holidays already implemented by the Staff Savvy system.

Go to Shifts > Schedule Creation > Manage Schedule to view these holidays. Here, you can view both National and Organisational holidays. They will come up at the top of the day they are scheduled for.

National & Organisational Holiday Settings

Contract Holiday Settings

National and Organisational Holidays are company-wide holidays where everyone is expected to be absent. The default national holidays are already set up in StaffSavvy. However, you can choose how you want to handle organisational holiday separately for each contract. To do this go to Pay > Contracts > Manage Contracts and edit the Contract you are interested in. Then scroll down to the Organisational/National Holiday section. 

You have two options that you can configure here. The first is whether or not you want Organisational holiday to be included in your total holiday and therefore deducted from the total allowance you have set up for the contract.

The second option allows you to increase the yearly holiday allowance by using national holidays. 

If you decide to remove any organisational holidays, there will be an automatic recalculation of holiday usage.

Global Settings

In addition to your contract settings you also have the option to set which country's national holidays you want your system to recognise.  

To set this go to System > Configuration > Global Settings and go to the General tab. Another setting you can enable is under the Staff & Contracts tab, down under Holiday. There is an option that allows you to choose whether National Holidays should be added to holiday allowances as regular working days or if you want to set a fixed do you want to set a custom day length for these dates.

It is worth noting that you can also set the date you want your organisational year to start and end under general configuration.
