Holiday Profiles

Holiday Profiles allow you to assign holidays, holiday credit rules, and zone rules to employees outside of pay rules and work rules. You can add one or more holidays to a holiday profile. You can also use the same holiday more than once.

Note: If you use the same holiday more than once in a Holiday Profile, the entries should have different Holiday Credit Rule and Zone Rule combinations. To avoid using multiple instances of the same holiday in a profile, you may be able to use an Alternate Holiday Credit Rule to accomplish the same results. For more information, see Eligibility in Holiday Credit Rules.

They also enable you to:

  • Manage the holidays that different employees celebrate without creating multiple pay rules and work rules.
  • Add or remove holidays that are specific to a set of employees by assigning them the same Holiday Profile.

For Example: there are assembly plants in Mexico, Massachusetts, Texas, Quebec, and British Columbia. Employees have a common pay rule and a common work rule, but they each celebrate different holidays. You can create a holiday profile for each area, rather than creating separate pay rules or work rules for each area.

  1. Navigate to Administration > Application Setup > Pay Policies > Holiday Profiles.
  2. Select a Holiday Profile from the list or click New to create one.
  3. Complete the following fields:
    • Version Effective Dates — The date range during which the holiday profile is in effect.
    • Default Rules for Holidays — Select the Holiday Credit Rule and Zone Rule to use as a default.
    • Holidays — Select the holidays for which the default values are overridden.
  1. Click Save & Return.

Holiday profiles are assigned to employees using Employment Terms Legal contracts between employer and employee. When scheduled to work hours differ from the hours in their contract, the pay rules of the employees determine the impact on pay.. You cannot delete a holiday profile that is currently assigned to an Employment Term.

  1. Navigate to Setup > Employment Terms > Employment Terms.
  2. Select an employment term from the list and click Edit or click New to create a new one.
  3. Select the applicable Holiday Profile in the drop-down list, and click Save & Return when finished.

Now you need to assign the Employment Term to the applicable employees:

  1. In People Information, select the appropriate employees and under Timekeeping, expand Timekeeper.
  2. Select the applicable Employment Term from the drop-down list and add the start and end dates.
  3. Click Save.
