The Jobs page collects information on options that impact the absence approval feature, job creation and cancellation, substitute assignments, telephone access, and holiday processing rules.
The Holiday Rule List allows substitutes that work during the before holiday period to receive preference for jobs during the after holiday period. The preference order is determined by the list setup in the Search Rules. This feature is enabled by entering a value in the before and after holiday work status fields. The holiday period is defined in the All Locations calendar.

| Holiday Rule Lists | - Enter the number of workdays prior to the holiday start date that special holiday processing rules will apply. The default is blank or zero. This feature allows substitutes who work during the defined before holiday period to receive preference for jobs that fall after the holiday. The system calculates the before holiday workdays using the number entered in this field. On the calendar, these workdays are labeled Before Status.
- Enter the number of workdays after the holiday end date that special holiday processing rules will apply. This is a two-digit field. The default is blank or zero. Substitutes who worked during the “before holiday” period are given “after holiday” preferred status for jobs. The system calculates the “after holiday” workdays using the number entered in this field. On the calendar, these workdays are labeled After Status.
If the Holiday Rule Lists parameters are blank, the Use Holiday Preferred List field does not display on the Calendar or on Search Rule pages. |
