Substitute workdays
Encode rescheduled working days so leave counting stays correct.
A substitute workday is a weekend day that a country turns into a working day, usually to bridge a public holiday to the nearest weekend. Hungary does this most years by decree (the athelyezett munkanap). Record these so Ferio counts the working days in a leave request correctly. This lives on the substitute-workdays page and needs the manage country profiles permission.
Mark a weekend day
Choose a country profile and a year, then toggle the relevant Saturday or Sunday on. Toggle it again to remove it. Only weekend dates can be marked: a weekday is already a working day, so Ferio rejects it. Each marking belongs to one country profile for one year, so every office follows its own national calendar.
How it affects counting
Once a Saturday or Sunday is marked, Ferio treats it as a normal working day. A leave request spanning that day counts it, and it draws from the balance like any weekday would. Leave the year unmarked and weekends stay non-working as usual.
Holidays win
A public holiday always outranks a substitute workday. If a holiday falls on a Saturday you have marked as working, that day stays non-working and is not counted. Keep your holiday list current so this precedence resolves correctly: see Public holidays.
Every toggle is written to the audit log with the profile, the date and who changed it, so a later question about a balance can always be traced back to the day that moved.
