How do I reschedule/replace a holiday for a specific employee?

Day.io allows you to reschedule or substitute a holiday for an employee on another date.

This is useful when the employee must work on a holiday but take the day off later. This article shows how to perform the swap using Super Punch.

Key actions or configuration

1. Locate the holiday to be rescheduled
   • Navigate to Attendance > Super Punch.
   • Select the desired employee and set the period in the calendar.
   • In the Holiday column, identify the row corresponding to the holiday (indicated by a flag or note icon).
     
     
2. Choose the “Replace” option and set the new date
   • Hover over the holiday icon in that row and click the calendar icon that appears.
   • In the menu, select Replace.
   • The Replace holiday date window appears. Enter the original holiday date and choose the new date for the employee’s day off.
   • Click Confirm to save. The employee’s calendar updates with the new holiday.
     
     

Tips or Troubleshooting

• After confirming the new date, ensure the employee’s schedule doesn’t conflict with other holidays or leave.

Best Practices

• Reschedule the holiday before the original date to avoid calculation discrepancies.
• Inform the employee about the new day off for personal planning.

2. If the employee has vacation scheduled, can I reschedule the holiday?
