Holiday Codes

Table Name: val_holidaycodes

Holiday codes are used in calculating due date rules and check dates for payroll calendars created by the Payroll Calendar Wizard.

• The dates on holiday codes define when a holiday occurs for holidays that impact check dates and liability due dates.
• The holidays defined on the Holiday Codes Table also display on self-service event calendars.

Selections and settings on the Payroll Calendar Wizard determine whether check dates are adjusted to the day before or after a holiday when the check date is on a holiday.

Paid holidays are defined separately on the Paid Holiday Codes Table.
