How to 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.

How to edit a holiday

1. In the navigation menu of the Gestão website, click on Registrations and select the Holidays.

2. Locate the holiday that needs to be edited. Select the holiday and, in the menu that opens, click the edit.

3. Fill in the fields:

• Name: Enter the name of the holiday, such as "carnival" or "city x anniversary".
• 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 state abbreviation (UF). For  municipal holidays , fill in the country, the state abbreviation (UF), and the municipality.

⚠️ Attention: The holiday will only apply to employees assigned to work locations with the same region configuration as the registered location. If you have questions about how to configure the region for your work location, please refer to the article: How to register a work location.

4. ** **Define 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.

5. Configure the additional options:

• 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. **Click Save to complete the holiday registration in the system. Once created, the holiday will be automatically applied to all unlocked timesheets of employees assigned to or working in locations configured with the same holiday region.**
