Holiday Grade
Use this window to define the bands for staff holidays. For example:
- 20 Days Administration Staff
- 25 Days Lecturers
- 5 Days Long Service
- Holidays Carried Over
You must define the period the holiday grade record covers, such as from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2010. You must also define the number of days' allowance in the period.
If a holiday grade is associated with an activity (in the Terms tab of the activity definition), the holiday grade is also assigned to the HR record of the member of staff appointed or assigned to the activity.
When you assign the holiday grade to an HR record, the system creates an associated holiday allowance record for the dates in the associated holiday grade record.
If the holiday allowance should be calculated pro rata, based on the employee's start date, ensure that the relevant fields are selected in System Setup > System Definitions > Absences.
If the actual number of days holiday needs to be recalculated, for example if you hadn't entered the Filled Date when appointing a candidate, therefore not supplying a Start Date which would mean that the system could not pro rata the number of days, select the appropriate activity for the employee, open the Employment History window, and click the Holiday button to start the Holiday Allowances Wizard.
