Public Holidays
Handle public holidays for your organisation in Jobman by creating Public Holiday Groups in Settings > Staff > Public Holiday Groups. A Public Holiday Group is a collection of public holidays that can be assigned to Staff Members and Labour Centres.
If you can't see Public Holiday Groups under Settings > Staff, ensure at least one of the staff roles you belong to can "View staff holiday group settings" and "Update staff holiday group settings".
If you selected a region during your organisation's registration process, you will already have a default public holiday group set up for you.
You are welcome to manually add public holidays to the Public Holiday Group however by choosing a region when creating or editing the group, the Public Holidays for that region will be automatically synchronised and kept up to date for you.
- For Staff Members that belong to a Public Holiday Group, their Pay Rate will factor in the Public Holidays as defined in that Public Holiday Group.
- For Labour Centres that belong to a Public Holiday Group, their Capacity and Scheduling will factor in the Public Holidays as defined in that Public Holiday Group.
Many organisations operate from a single region so don't need to set up multiple Public Holiday Groups and apply them manually for each Staff Member or Labour Centre.
Setting a Public Holiday Group as the default will automatically apply it to Staff Members and Labour Centres unless otherwise specified.
Non-standard Business Closures
If you have site shutdowns or closures (for example, over Christmas) you can add these dates by clicking 'Add 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.
