How do I edit a holiday?

Editing holidays registered in the Pontotel system is a simple and essential process for correcting information or adjusting settings according to changes in dates or policies. Follow the step-by-step instructions below to perform this action.

Step by step

1. Access the holiday menu.

In the main menu, click on registrations and select the holidays .

Locate the holiday you wish to edit.

Use the search filters or browse the list to find the holiday that needs to be adjusted. Select the holiday and, in the menu that opens, click the edit .

3. Fill in the fields.

Since the holiday is already registered, most fields will be pre-filled. Adjust the information as needed, according to the instructions below:

• Name: Enter the name of the holiday, such as "Carnival" or "Christmas".
• Date: Enter or select the holiday date from the calendar.

Region (Country, State and Municipality):

For national holidays, fill in only the "country" field. As you begin typing, suggestions will appear below the field. Be sure to select one of the displayed options so that the registration is saved correctly.

• For state holidays, fill in the country and the abbreviation (state code).
• For municipal holidays, fill in the country, state, and municipality.

⚠️ Attention: The holiday will only apply to employees located in workplaces with the same region configuration as registered.

• Payment method: Choose how the holiday will be paid if the employee works on that day:
• Normal: If the employee should receive the holiday as a regular workday, select this option.
• Extra : If the time worked on the holiday is paid as regular overtime, choose this option.
• Extraordinary: Generally used for overtime hours with a 100% surcharge. This nomenclature is pre-configured in your calculation rule and is the standard used in the Pontotel system.
• Special: If your calculation rule has configured a third type of overtime, indicated as "special", select this option to apply the percentage defined for this case.

Make sure your selection aligns with your calculation rule settings to ensure correct payment.

• Calculation rule: If instructed by a Pontotel Analyst to meet a specific need, or if a specific calculation rule for holidays has been previously created, link the rule to the work schedule. Otherwise, leave the field blank, and the system will automatically use the calculation rule defined in the employee's record.
• Fixed holiday : Check this option if the holiday occurs annually on the same date, such as Christmas.
• Holiday with time off: Check if the holiday will be considered a day off. If not checked and the employee does not work, an absence will be recorded.

6. Save the changes.

After making the adjustments, click save to apply the changes to the system.
