Indicators Tab

The Indicators tab is where values are set for each holiday. These values determine whether this is a major or minor holiday and/or whether this holiday is included in the holiday rotations rule.

The Indicator tab opens a screen where processing settings are established. These settings can be changed by authorized users to customize the functionality of the system.

Indicator options are stored on category cards to make them easier to locate. Click the card arrow to open the card and view the indicator options contained on that card.

Indicator naming convention is as follows:

Screen name + "Indicator" + Category name + Classification + Number

For example, the Standard indicator on the Pay Group screen on the System category card that is listed First, is named Pay Group Indicator System Standard 1.

On the indicator screen, there are predefined options that the user can select from the right pane. There is a Default setting, which is the setting automatically assigned when a new record is created. The Default setting can be changed for the system in the Configuration section>System card>Indicator screen. From that point forward, all new records will get the default setting. Note: An updated default setting is not applied to any existing records.

Holiday Indicator Schedule Standard 1 determines whether this holiday is a major or minor holiday. This is used with holiday rules which track some holidays differently than other holidays. For example, an organization unit might consider Major holidays to be Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day and minor holidays to be Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. The rotations for major and minor holidays can be set up differently.

Note: If all holidays are included in the same rotation, all the holidays can be left with the default setting of A.

Note: This indicator is found in the Configuration section>Assignments card>Holiday screen>Indicator tab>Schedule Process card.

Holiday Indicator Schedule Standard 2 is used to indicate whether this holiday is to be populated as part of the Holiday Rotations Rule. This indicator is only used in the Holiday Rotations Rule, with holiday assignments where

Holiday Assignment Code Indicator Schedule Standard 8 is set to Y.

Holiday Assignment Code Indicator Schedule Standard 8 determines whether this assignment uses the Holiday Rotations Rule.

In the Holiday Rotations assignment, specific holidays are eligible to be worked by certain employees. For example, Holiday 1 rotation employees can work New Year's Day and July 4; Holiday 2 rotation employees can work Memorial Day and Thanksgiving and Holiday 3 rotation employees can work Labor Day and Christmas. Each year the eligible holidays to work for each assignment can be changed.
