Set up holidays

Your institution’s holidays are discounted when counting the days of leaves measured in working days, except in contracts with Works on holidays turned on. They’re set up in Settings › General settings › Activity. How leaves are resolved is explained in Approve or reject leaves.

You need permission

This option only appears if your access role allows it. If you don't see it, ask the person who manages your institution to review your role.

Add a holiday

1. Go to Holidays and click Add holiday.
2. Enter the Name and choose the Date.
3. Click Save.

Holidays don’t appear in the calendar and don’t repeat automatically: add each year’s holidays. At the top you can choose which year to see.

They’re also deducted from the expected hours in the time tracking Hours summary, with the same exception. See Review and correct clock-in records.

Adding or deleting a holiday doesn’t change the days of leaves that were already requested: it applies to the ones requested afterwards. The Hours summary takes it into account straight away.

If it doesn’t work

• A leave doesn’t discount a holiday. Check that the holiday is set up in that leave’s year, that the leave type counts working days and that the contract doesn’t have Works on holidays turned on. If the leave was requested before the holiday was added, it keeps the days it was requested with.
• Add holiday is disabled. Select a contract to add appears: you have contracts from several institutions selected at the top. Choose one in Contract.
• You don’t see this page in the settings. Your access role doesn’t include the institution’s settings. Talk to the person who manages it.

If a saved holiday isn’t discounted in a working-days leave requested afterwards, or you need to correct the days of a leave requested before, write to us at help@weikos.io with the link to the leave.

We will never ask you for your password or bank details by email. If you receive a message asking for them on behalf of Weikos, don’t reply and write to us at help@weikos.io.
