Only Scheduled Days / Skip Holidays Options

📖 Overview

When employees submit a multi-day time-off request, the system provides configuration options to control how days are counted. Two key settings are available:

  • Only Scheduled Days → Ensures that only the employee’s scheduled workdays are deducted from their time-off balance.
  • Skip Holidays → Ensures that company holidays are automatically excluded from the time-off request.

These options prevent employees from being charged for days they were not scheduled to work or for official holidays.

🛠️ How to Access These Settings

Follow these steps to configure the options:

  1. Go to Account Settings.
  2. Select Time-Off Request.
  3. Locate the section Only Scheduled Days / Skip Holidays.
  4. Use the dropdown menus to choose the appropriate configuration for each option

⚙️ Dropdown Configuration Options

Administrators can configure how each option appears to employees using the following dropdown settings:

Option Type Description Example Use Case
Yes/No (Defaulted to Yes)

Employees see both Yes and No, with Yes pre-selected.

 Common when most requests should skip holidays, but flexibility is needed
Yes/No (Defaulted to No)

Employees see both Yes and No, with No pre-selected.

 Useful when holidays are usually counted unless the employee opts out.
Yes is the only option

Employees cannot change the setting; it is always Yes.

 Enforces skipping holidays or scheduled days for all requests.
No is the only option

Employees cannot change the setting; it is always No.

 Enforces counting holidays or non-scheduled days for all requests.
Hidden from user (Defaulted to Yes)

Employees do not see the option; system automatically applies Yes.

 Simplifies the request process while ensuring holidays/scheduled days are skipped.

 

🧭 Best Practices

  • Use Yes/No (Defaulted to Yes) when skipping holidays or non-scheduled days is the standard practice but flexibility is desired.
  • Use Yes is the only option or Hidden from user when you want strict enforcement without employee input.
  • Use Yes/No (Defaulted to No) only if your organization typically counts holidays or non-scheduled days, but allows exceptions.
  • Avoid confusing employees by hiding options unless necessary for policy compliance.

 

✅ Example Scenarios

  • Vacation Request (Mon–Fri, with Wed as a holiday):
    • If Skip Holidays = Yes, only 4 vacation days are deducted.
    • If Skip Holidays = No, all 5 days are deducted.
  • Part-time Employee (works Mon–Thu, requests Mon–Fri off):
    • If Only Scheduled Days = Yes, only 4 days are deducted.
    • If Only Scheduled Days = No, all 5 days are deducted.
