4.5.2 Automatic calculation of public holidays
The following picture shows the menu for the automatic public holiday calculation:
Figure 30: Automatic calculation of public holidays
Public holidays are predefined for all federal states in Germany and Austria and are calculated each
year using integrated logic. Numerous public holidays are also predefined for other EU countries.
In addition, further public holidays can be integrated via the following rules:
The "
fixed date
" rule defines public holidays that take place on the same day every year. Common
examples are New Year's Day on 1 January or Labour Day on 1 May.
Since many public holidays in the Christian area are based on Easter, public holidays can be defined
relative to Easter Sunday
. Then an offset of -100 to +100 days to Easter Sunday has to be defined.
Thus, as the simplest example, Easter Monday is always exactly one day after Easter Sunday.
In addition, rules can also be created "
individual
" with which "own holidays" can be calculated. If this
rule is selected, a date can be selected and the public holiday can be calculated depending on this
date. The calculated public holiday can be a maximum of 1 week before this date and 1 week after
this date.
