Saturday 17th - day off?

Post by Baggaz »

Hi,

I've just had a look at the annual leave (calendar view) on the People app and it's showing Saturday 17th as a non-working day.

Does anyone know if this is the case?

Cheers.

Fancy that RMs technology letting them down :left:

Who would have thought it ..... Never normally happens. Let's hope Simon's highlighted Christmas on his calendar, it ALWAYS seems to catch them out! :cuppa

Is the peoples app updated centrally or on an office basis?

Either way, the official announcement that Monday 19th will be a Bank holiday wasn't made until late yesterday(sat 11th) afternoon.

Does anyone really expect things to be updated Saturday night into Sunday?

*Saturday 17th is obviously a normal day, there's no reason it won't be!

I'd imagine that something like adding a bank holiday would have to be done by someone at Sheffield. Don't know if local resource units would have the access or authority to do that
