Overview:
Public holidays and custom days (e.g. Christmas Shutdown) are assigned to groups of dates, which are applied to users' calendars. Each individual date will then appear on the calendar, marked in it's associated colour.
This guide provides the steps required to override a date that has been applied to a user's calendar as part of a public holiday or custom day group so that it can be reclaimed as a working period or non-working day.
Step-by-step guide:
- Navigate to Admin tools > Users.
- Search for the user you would like to affect and click the "Edit" button to the right.
- In the user detail screen, select the "Rota" tab.
- In the calendar, click on the day you would like to override.
- Click the "X" button to the right of the timeline bar.
- If the timeline is now grey, and you wish to add a working period, click the "Add" button and enter the start and end time as well as the duration.
- If the user is intended to work on this day, it is highly recommended to set the duration of that specific day to match the user's "Hours per day" to avoid any miscalculations on absences.
- Click the "Save all changes" button at the foot of the page.
- Click "Yes" when presented with the Update Future Absences message box if you wish to re-apply absences in line with changes that have been made to the calendar.
Please note: Removal of individual public holiday or custom day dates where entitlement has been deducted will result in the entitlement being returned to the user.
