Creating a Holiday Group Entry

Once you have created the Holiday entries, you need to allot them to one or more Holiday Groups. You can then assign these Holiday Groups to employees, so that the holidays appear on their Timesheets and Expense sheets.

Holiday Groups are also useful for organizations that have offices in different parts of the world. You could create a different Holiday Group for each office that is in a different country, listing the holidays of that country. You can then quickly assign the list of holidays to employees from an office in a particular country, by assigning the Holiday Group to each those employees. (See Adding an Employee entry for more information on assigning a Holiday Group to an employee.)

To create a Holiday Group entry:

1. Click on Holidays in the Process Management tab.

   The Holidays screen will appear.

   

2. Click the Add button in the Holiday Groups panel.

   The Holiday Group dialog box will appear.
