Define Holiday Calendars#

The Holiday Calendar defines the annual holiday schedules that are used by the organization. It specifies the dates and names of the public holidays employees may take, as well as any organization specific holiday arrangements. Holiday calendars are used by time entry, work scheduling and pay generation processes to determine any default holiday rules that should be applied.

Holiday Calendars may be created and maintained the Define Holiday Calendars (IDHC) form.

Holiday Calendar data is stored in the P2K_CM_HOLIDAY_CALENDARS and P2K_CM_HOLIDAY_DETAILS table.
