From now on, with Sesame you can enable the option for your team to receive half a day’s holiday for each public holiday worked. Previously, the only option was to compensate with a full day for each public holiday worked. However, we are now introducing this new feature to provide more options for your employees, allowing them more flexibility in organising their work and leisure time.
To activate this new functionality, you will need to configure it at the start of the calendar setup process. When creating a new calendar, enable the option “Allow requesting half a day’s holiday as compensation for working on a public holiday”. Then, to complete the process, the administrator must choose between “Calculate based on the daily schedule” or “Calculate based on the weekly schedule”.
As a result of this calendar configuration, the employee will be able to choose between a full day or half a day off when requesting time off as compensation for a public holiday worked. This new feature will also be available in the app.
