Holidays

The Holidays tab lists the company holidays the scheduler treats specially. On a holiday week, the app leaves the slot blank (marked "(fill manually)") so you can ask for volunteers first, then fill the rest with Assign holidays.

How holidays are defined

Each holiday is a rule, not a single date, so it works every year automatically. For example:

• a fixed date (e.g. July 4),
• or a floating date (e.g. "the 4th Thursday of November" for Thanksgiving).

Some holidays can shift when they land on a weekend (e.g. observed on the nearest weekday). Each holiday also has an active switch — turn one off to make the scheduler ignore it without deleting it.

Adding or editing a holiday (editors/admins)

1. Click Add (or Add holiday).
2. Give it a name.
3. Choose the rule (fixed date, or "nth weekday of a month").
4. Set any shift behavior for weekends.
5. Save.

Use Edit to change a rule, or the active toggle to enable/disable it.

Filling holiday weeks on the schedule

Defining holidays here only marks those weeks. To actually assign people, go to the Schedule screen:

• Fill some by hand from volunteers, then
• click Assign holidays to fill the rest, balanced so everyone gets one holiday before anyone gets a second.
