Specify Non-Work Days

To identify the days of the week on which your employees normally do not work, and to specify your holidays, go to the Non-Work Days form in either the Resource Planning Settings or Time Settings.

Entries that you make on the form in either Resource Planning Settings or Time Settings are updated on both forms.

On timesheets, non-work days and holidays are highlighted, but employees can still enter time for them. When DPS spreads planned hours for you in Resource Planning, non-work days and holidays are allocated no hours, but planners can still assign planned hours to them.

If you have multiple companies, you specify non-work days and holidays separately for each company.

To specify non-work days and holidays:

1. If you have multiple companies in DPS, select the company for which you want to specify non-work days as the active company.
2. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Resource Planning > Non-Work Days or Settings > Time > Non-Work Days.
3. Under Non-Work Days, select the days of the week that your employees normally do not work.
4. To add a holiday, click + Add Holiday below the Holidays grid to add a blank row.
5. Click in the Date field and select the date of the holiday.
6. In the Type field, select Holiday or Other.
7. In the Description field, enter the name of the holiday.
8. If the holiday includes more than one day, click at the end of the row and select Copy to copy the holiday information into a new row, and change the date in that row. You can also use the copy feature if you want to create rows for a holiday for several years at one time. You can then change the dates and sort the grid based on date if you want to list the holidays chronological order.
9. To add other holidays, repeat steps 3 - 8.
10. Click Save.
