Smart Formulas can select different earnings rates on public holidays. To do so, holidays must first be configured in UpSheets (Xero’s public holidays are not available to UpSheets).

Basic Setup

To use public holidays, enable them first:

• Enable holidays: Select Smart Formulas from the menu, then Settings > Enable Holiday = Enable.
• Add holidays: Click Setup Holidays, then Add each holiday to the default calendar.
• Click Back to exit.

Default Calendar

A single Default Calendar is available and automatically assigned to all employees and is visible under their name on the Smart Formulas screen.

Using Additional Calendars

If you need more than one calendar, from the Setup Holidays screen, select the calendar dropdown and click + Add Calendar. Enter a name and click Save. You can then add holidays in the same way as for the default calendar.

Note: You must add all required dates for each calendar.

When multiple calendars are defined, you can optionally select a calendar for each employee on the Smart Formulas page. If some employees do not need a calendar, set up a calendar with no holidays and assign it as required.
