1/2 day bank holiday

Posted on by Mancini Magic 103

Hi,

Is there a way to set up a holiday/closure on a specific date for only half a day so that an employee can only book a half-day off on this day as annual leave?

As always, any advice gratefully received.

Best regards

    Hi Mancini,

    You can configure the leave unit for the selected leave and absence type, just go to leave and absence workspace:

    1. On the Leave and absence page, on the Links tab, under Setup, select Leave and absence types.
    2. Select a leave and absence type in the list. Then, in the General section, in the Unit field, select the leave unit. You can select Hours or Days.
    3. Optional: If you selected Days in the Unit field, you can use the Enable half day definition field to specify whether employees can select the first half day or the second half day off if they are requesting a half-day leave.

    Please note that you should first turn on the Configure leave units per leave type feature in Feature management. And the feature can't be turned off after it has been turned on.

    More detailed information can be found in the following link:

    Thank you Hana for taking the time to respond.  

    The problem is that we want to mark a specific day in the calendar as a 1/2 day working day and not a full day holiday so that when a worker tries to book annual leave or sick leave on this day, they can only book 1/2 day and not a full day.

    Best regards
