- Security:Set Up: Calendardomain in the System functional area.
Create a calendar that lists holidays.
In Workday Time Tracking, the holiday calendar affects the dates that are considered
holidays on the worker's time entry calendar. The holiday calendar also affects the
results of Time Tracking report fields that are based on holidays.
If you use an Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) integration to upload data for an
existing holiday calendar, include calendar rules in the EIB. Otherwise, Workday removes
the calendar rules on the existing holiday calendar.
