Holiday Settings

Before jumping right into the heart of this article, the assumption is that you've read this one first: Holidays. If you haven't, get to it!

 

If you've already completed this step on the other hand, go to Step 2 over here - Creating Holiday Plans.

 

Let's now look into the holiday settings on Sprout HR

 

Step 1: Holiday Settings

1. Click on the Maintenance tab on the Navigation toolbar on the dashboard. 

 2. Click on Settings on the upper right-hand portion of the screen.

3. On this page, there are 3 sections: Standard Holidays, Location-Based Holidays, and Holiday Pay Eligibility.

A. Standard Holidays

 

 

These follow government-declared holidays that are announced prior to the effective year.

Click on the + icon to add a new holiday to this section.

 Fill out the Name and select the Date. Then select the option for holiday Type (Optional Holiday, Mandatory Working Holiday, and Non-Working Holiday).

 

• Optional Holiday

• The employee has logs = he/she gets paid the corresponding premium. No need to apply for a Schedule Adjustment.

• The employee has no logs = he/she will not get any deduction for that day.
  
  

• Mandatory Working Holiday

• The employee has logs = he/she gets paid the corresponding premium.

• The employee has no logs = he/she will get a deduction for that day.
  
  

• Non-Working Holiday

• The employee has logs = he/she gets paid the corresponding premium if a Schedule Adjustment is applied.

• The employee has no logs = he/she will not get any deduction for that day.

 

Next, select the applicable Premium (Legal, Special, or Without Premium).

 

Click the Save button when you're done.

 

If you need to edit or delete a holiday, click on the pencil icon. You can edit a holiday's details or delete it by clicking the trash bin icon. Then click the save/diskette icon to save the changes.

 

B. Location-Based Holidays

 

In this section, holidays that are applicable to certain locations can be set. An example would be specific holidays based on a certain city. Make sure locations have been added to the account's Work Places before proceeding.

Click on the + icon to add a new holiday to this section.

Select the Location you're adding the holiday for.

 

Input the holiday Name, select the Date, Type, and Premium just as you previously did with the Standard Holidays. Then click the Save button.

 

C. Holiday Pay Eligibility

Each company has a different policy when it comes to holiday pay eligibility. We have three options for this setting.

• None (Employees are always eligible for holiday pays).

• The employee gets paid for a holiday even if he/she is absent the day before or the day after that holiday.
  
  

• Check the workday before the holiday.

• The employee only gets paid if he/she went to work the day before the holiday.
  
  

• Check the workday before and after the holiday.

• The employee only gets paid if he/she went to work the day before and the day after the holiday.

 

 

Now that you're done with the Holiday Settings, go back to the main page by clicking on Back to Holiday Plans. Then open the following article to learn Step 2 - Creating Holiday Plans.
