Recurring Holidays

MAIN MENU >   Policy > Recurring Holidays

Recurring Holidays are holidays that repeat each year. TimeTrex allows you to enter these holidays just one time, and it automatically applies them in each subsequent year. The holidays you setup here feed the Recurring Holiday drop-down list that is found when you create the Holiday Policies.

Most holidays (especially those in North America) can be configured as recurring holidays; you will not need to remember to manually create them each year.

It is important to note that on a nightly basis, Recurring Holidays are automatically added to the Holiday tab in each Holiday Policy that the Recurring Holiday is assigned to. Therefore if you create or modify a Recurring Holiday it may not appear in that tab or on employees timesheets until the next day, or until 60 days prior to when the holiday is scheduled to occur. In order to add holidays retroactively or on a manual basis you must edit the Holiday Policy, click on the Holiday tab and create a new holiday record in this tab, then recalculate any employees timesheets that may be affected by this change.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting.
