Holidays in EmpowerTime/Unitime do not automatically roll forward at the end of a year because holiday dates can vary year to year. Once a holiday has passed and the pay period in which the holiday occurred has been closed, the date of the holiday should be rolled to the next year in each holiday class.

Mass Updating Holiday Dates

If multiple holiday classes are set up within a company, it is often faster to mass update dates rather than updating the dates in each holiday class separately. Several mass update options are available in the Holiday Classes drop-down menu in the Holiday Classes notebook, or from the Processes button located at the top of the Holiday Class Detail window.

These options are described below.

Duplicate Holiday Class Creates a new holiday class by duplicating all holiday class rules and dates. When enabled, UNITIME prompts for the holiday class to copy as well as the code for the new holiday class.

Duplicate Holiday Dates Copies holiday dates, descriptions, and hours from one holiday class to another. When enabled, UNITIME will prompt for the holiday classes.

Mass Add Date Adds a holiday date, description, and number of hours for all holiday classes set up in the current company.

Mass Delete Date Deletes a holiday from all holiday classes in the current company that have the date.

Make sure to backup you date prior to making these changes.
