In this article in The Rules Series, we show how to configure the rules engine to use the On a public holiday condition.
How the On a public holiday condition works
Overview
The On a public holiday condition creates matches whether the shift or timesheet falls on a public holiday.
The way in which we match the time depends on the Match type configuration.
Note: If a public holiday qualifies for Mondayisation, then the condition matches the Mondayised date of the public holiday if the employee is not scheduled to work on the original public holiday date.
i.e. if a public holiday falls on a Saturday, and employee does not work a shift on the Saturday (according to the employee’s standard hours) the public holiday is treated as the Monday following the original public holiday date)
Configuration options
Name | Description | Data Type | Example value |
|---|---|---|---|
Days of week | This specifies the day(s) of the week that match the timesheets. Any day in this list will match the portion of each timesheet that falls on the selected day(s). | One or more options | Monday |
Match type | This specifies how to match whether the shift falls on the day(s) of the week. | One option | Portion |
Match types
Match type | Description |
|---|---|
Portion (default) | The portion match type will match the portion of the shift that falls on the given day(s) of the week. An overnight shift or timesheet will only match the portion of the shift that falls on the day(s) of the week, the remainder of the shift will not be matched. |
Starts on | The starts on match type will match the shift that starts on the given day(s) of the week. An overnight shift or timesheet will match the entire shift or timesheet if it starts on one of the given day(s) in the week, regardless of when the shift ended. |
Ends on | The ends on match type will match the shift that ends on the given day(s) of the week. An overnight shift or timesheet will match the entire shift or timesheet if it ends on one of the given day(s) in the week, regardless of when the shift started. |
Majority | The majority match type will match the shift that ends on the given day(s) of the week. An overnight shift or timesheet will match the entire shift or timesheet if the majority of time in the shift is on one of the given day(s) in the week, regardless of when the shift started or ended. |
