How do I configure a custom holiday cycle for my company?
If your company uses a holiday cycle that starts in a month other than January, you can configure it from the holiday settings by selecting the Custom year option as the renewal type.
Step 1. Access the holiday settings
Go to Configuration >> Calendars >> Holidays.
Create a new holiday policy or edit an existing one. In the Advanced section, you'll find the renewal cycle configuration.
Step 2. Select the renewal type
In the Renewal type field, you'll find three options:
- Calendar year (January-December).
- Working year (employee anniversary).
- Custom year (new option).
Select Custom year and choose the month you want the holiday cycle to start. Sesame will automatically calculate the end month, 12 months later.
Step 3. Save the configuration
Save the changes to apply the new holiday cycle. The configuration will be automatically reflected for the employees assigned to that holiday policy.
Important
- The custom cycle always has a fixed duration of 12 months. Shorter cycles cannot be configured.
- If your company uses different types of holiday cycle (calendar year, working year, and custom year), Sesame will display an information notice in the general calendar to help you identify them.
