Add, edit or delete holidays

  • Security - Manage User Security
  • Workflow and Resource Manager

Entering staff holidays is part of the user availability settings which are important if you are planning to use the workflow management features in Jobs & Billing, such as being able to use employee efficiency reports, job ordering and use the Capacity Planning module.

You can enter statutory holidays, company-wide holidays (for example, closed over holiday season) and holidays for one user only. The total number of holidays is shown as calendar days, not business days. Updates to the public holidays are made automatically by CCH iFirm.
