Account for holidays that fall on weekends

Rise Time Off can automatically take into account when a statutory or custom holiday happens to fall on the weekend.

You have three options to choose from:

If a holiday falls on the weekend or on another holiday…

1. Reassign it to the closest working day to the holiday. For example, if a holiday falls on a Saturday, it would be reassigned to Friday. If it falls on a Sunday, it would be reassigned to Monday.
2. Reassign it to the next working day after the holiday. For example, if a holiday falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, it would be reassigned to Monday in either case.
3. Do nothing.

To configure this:

1. Navigate to Settings.

2. Click on App Settings.

3. Scroll down to the Time Off section and choose the best option for your company and employees.

4. Click Save to make changes.

Once you have selected how holidays will be adjusted when they fall on a weekend, the selection will apply to all holidays, and depending on your settings, they will be reassigned either to the closest working holiday or to the next working holiday.
