From the Time & Attendance menu, select Setup.
Note: If the Setup option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.
Under the Dates heading, click the Holiday Programs link. The Holiday Programs page displays a list of the holiday programs defined for your company.
Click the Add New button on the right side of the page. A blank Holiday Program page opens.
In the Holiday Program field, enter a short name for the new program. This name must be distinct from other holiday program names. It is used throughout the application to identify the holiday program. It can be up to 25 characters in length.
In the Description field, enter a short phrase that describes the holiday program. This description appears in the list of programs on the Holiday Programs page and can help you determine which program to select when you are viewing or editing holiday programs later.
Note:
You must enter a description in the text box marked with a red triangle
( 
). If your company supports
other languages, enter descriptions in the text boxes for those languages
as well.
Select the holiday processing options that you want to apply to all holidays defined in the program. The available options are:
Automatic Calculation of Holiday - Select this check box if you want the Holiday Processor to run automatically every time an employee's timecard is processed. The Holiday Processor evaluates whether an employee is eligible for each holiday in the program. If an employee is eligible for a holiday, the Holiday Processor "awards" the holiday by entering the appropriate time pair or hours in the employee's timecard. If this box is not selected, the Holiday Processor runs only at specific times, as defined by your ADP Implementation Specialist or ADP Time & Attendance Representative.
Update Awarded Holiday upon Re-run - Select this check box if you want any holidays that have already been awarded to be updated, if applicable, each time the Holiday Processor runs. If this box is not selected, the first award generated by the Holiday Processor is not overwritten when any of the parameters affecting the holidays in the program are changed. For example, if this box is checked and your company changes the holiday pay distribution setting that controls how many hours of pay employees receive for one of the holidays in the program, any awards that have been recorded (but not yet paid) for that holiday will be updated to reflect the new policy. If this box is not checked, the holiday awards will not be updated to reflect the new policy.
Remove Awarded Holiday if Disqualified Upon Re-run - Select this check box if you want any holidays that have already been awarded to be removed if an employee who was previously qualified for a holiday later becomes disqualified. This may happen if your company uses holiday qualification rules that required employees to work certain days or a certain number of hours or days before a holiday in order to receive holiday pay. For example, if an employee's timecard data changes after an award has been made, he/she may become ineligible for the holiday. If this box is checked and the employee does become disqualified, the award would be removed when the Holiday Processor ran again. If the box is not checked, an employee in this situation would be paid for the holiday, since the original award would not be removed.
Note: The two options relating to subsequent runs (re-runs) of the Holiday Processor only affect automatically generated holiday time pairs. If a user has manually edited a holiday time pair, the Holiday Processor will not overwrite it, even if these options are selected.
Click the Submit button. The Holiday Program page refreshes and displays the newly created holiday program. The Holiday Program text box is no longer editable. You can now define the specific holidays to be included in the program. For instructions, see Adding a Holiday to a Holiday Program.
