Public Holidays
Factor public holidays into your scheduling by creating public holiday groups. A public holiday group is a collection of public holidays that can be assigned to staff members and labour centres.
First, go to Settings > Staff > Public Holiday Groups.
If you can't see Public Holiday Groups under Settings > Staff, make sure that your staff role has permissions to View staff holiday group settings and Update staff holiday group settings. Read More: Staff Roles and Permissions
If you selected a region when setting up your organisation in Jobman, you will already have a default public holiday group set up for you.
You can manually add public holidays to your chosen public holiday group. However, if you choose a region when you create or edit a public holiday group, the standard public holidays for that region will be automatically added to your software and kept up to date.
- For staff members that belong to a public holiday group, their Pay Rate will factor in the public holidays within that group.
- For labour centres that belong to a public holiday group, their Capacity and scheduling will factor in the public holidays within that group.
Setting a public holiday group as the default will automatically apply it to staff members and labour centres unless otherwise specified.
If your organisation operates within multiple regions, you can set up multiple public holiday groups and apply them manually to each staff member and/or labour centre as required.
Non-Standard Business Closures
If you have site shutdowns or closures (for example, over Christmas), you can add these dates into your chosen public holiday group by clicking Add A New Holiday. This will stop anything being scheduled on that day.
Note: You won't see the holiday on your calendar, just a blank day.
