Before you begin…
You’ll need a public holiday calendar or closure period calendar.
If you have sites that are closed for specific periods (e.g. over school holidays or the Christmas/New Year break), you can create closure period calendars.
The system includes public holiday calendars for each state. You can also create new public holiday calendars for sites that observe regional holidays, if you provide services in regional areas.
