You can now customize how bank holidays are treated in employee timesheets, choosing whether they count as workable days for specific groups. This gives you greater flexibility to accurately track time in sectors like retail, hospitality, or other environments where employees may work on public holidays.
This allows:
- More flexibility in managing different work schedules.
- More accurate time tracking and balances.
- Better support for companies who work on an annual balance
How to configure it
- In your sidebar, go to Organisation → select the employee
- Open the Contract tab
- Click on Fix condition or add new conditions
- Fill it to the Working Hours section
- Find the new field: Bank Holiday Treatment
- Choose between:
- Non-working time – bank holidays will be excluded from the regular work schedule.
- Working time – bank holidays will be treated as regular workdays.

How it works
- Non-working time (default): Bank holidays will be excluded from timesheets and not counted as working time. If an employee works on a bank holiday, those hours will be treated as extra time.
Example
Let’s say Joe has a standard 40-hour workweek and there’s a bank holiday on April 7th (Friday).
- Configuration: Bank Holiday Treatment = Non-working time
-
Timesheet impact:
- April 7th is excluded from Joe’s total agreement hours.
- The week now expects 32 hours (instead of 40).
- If Joe works on April 7th, those hours are recorded as extra time.
- Working time: Bank holidays will be treated as regular workdays. They will be included in the total agreement hours, and any work done on those days will not be counted as extra time.
Example
Now, let’s configure the same week for Joe but with a different setting.
- Configuration: Bank Holiday Treatment = Working time
-
Timesheet impact:
- April 7th is included in the agreement hours.
- The expected total for the week remains 40 hours.
- If Joe works on April 7th, it is treated as part of the regular schedule, not extra time.
