When calculating leave in ZUP, holidays falling within the leave period are not included in the number of leave days — they are counted separately, as holidays, and are not counted as rest.

Let's look at an example using a calendar: from the 1st to the 3rd the employee is on rest (these are leave days), from the 4th to the 6th — working days, the 7th — a day off, the 8th — a working day, from the 9th to the 11th — a day off, the 12th — a working day. That is, the system correctly separates leave days, working days, days off, and holidays, and holidays are not included in the calculation of leave days — the program calculates everything correctly.

Thus, if there is a holiday within the leave period, it is automatically excluded from the count of leave days, and the leave is effectively extended by that day, or it is simply not counted as a leave day when calculating compensation or accruals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the number of leave days in the document less than indicated in the calendar?

Because holidays are not included in the leave days — the program automatically excludes them from the calculation.

Do I need to manually adjust the dates if a holiday falls within the leave period?

No, ZUP correctly distributes the days on its own based on the production calendar — holidays are simply not counted as rest days during leave.
