How to manage public holidays: setting departments as open/closed, treating holidays as regular workdays 🎄🎅
To change the settings for public holidays, go to: ➡️ Settings ➡️ Schedule ➡️ Public holidays Click Edit on the holiday you want to add departments as open or closed. On the right you will find "Open departments" When you click in the box, a list of all departments will be shown and you can choose which ones are open. In the example below, you can see that "Værløse" and "Fredriksberg" are open on Christmas Day. Once you have selected which departments you want to be open, click on Update in the bottom right corner. 👍 Administrator Permissions: Only administrators can add, edit, or delete public holidays. If you lack access, request an administrator to make the necessary changes. Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues such as being unable to add shifts on holidays marked with 0 hours, switch to the full-period view ('Hele perioden af vagtplanen') and add shifts there. This ensures proper allocation of hours based on updated department settings.

Additionally, you can configure holiday hours for employees by navigating to the Holiday settings and adjusting the rules for specific holidays. For example, you can set rules to allocate hours proportionally based on contracted hours or apply specific rules to match your organization's policies.
Additionally, if you need to treat public holidays as regular working days, ensure that the department is set to "Open," and save these changes. This allows assigning shifts and managing vacation or personal days effectively. For troubleshooting issues like adding shifts on holidays marked with 0 hours, switch to the full-period view ('Hele perioden af vagtplanen') and add shifts there. This view ensures proper allocation of hours based on updated department settings.
Alternatively, if a date cannot be marked as a public holiday, consider using holiday-specific absence types (e.g., "Public holiday") to allocate hours for that day. Ensure the absence type is enabled for your account.
