A career-level holiday rule override is used when an employee’s holiday entitlement needs to be adjusted for a specific period or situation.

For example, if an employee is temporarily promoted to a higher-level role for six months, and that role includes additional holiday entitlement, a career-level holiday override ensures they receive the correct entitlement for the duration of their temporary position.

Set a holiday rule override

To set a career-level holiday rule override, follow these steps.

  1. Click Employees, click Employees, then click Career History.

  2. Drill into a person's record.

  3. Click the Career History tab.

  4. Click into the relevant career history record.

  5. Change the value seen in the Holiday Rule field.

  6. Click Save.

The employee will receive the entitlement from this override until a new career history record is created without an override.


If you do not see this field, please change your menu set to a standard menu, e.g, HR (V2.0). If the field isn't visible on your custom menu set, you can add the field to the form.

🤓 Tip: When a holiday rule override is applied, it will not show as their assigned holiday rule in the holiday history process.
