How does Capitech handle public holidays and special days?

Capitech can use separate calculation rules for public holidays and special days, such as Christmas Eve or other days that need to be handled differently. If you need separate rules for these days, you should submit a support request.

What does this cover?

Some days should not be calculated in the same way as regular working days.

Examples include:

public holidays
Christmas Eve
the Wednesday before Maundy Thursday
other customer-specific days with separate settings

On these days, hours, overtime, and compensation may be calculated differently.

How does this work?

Capitech can distinguish between:

regular days
public holidays
special days that have been defined separately

This allows you to use separate rules for specific dates or day types.

Can this also be controlled by group or agreement?

Yes. For many customers, rules for public holidays and special days are linked to employee groups, collective agreements, or other agreed calculation logic.

This means that the same date may not be handled in the same way for all employees if different rules apply to different groups.

When is this relevant to you?

Important information
