  • Non-Standard Working Days - Check the box next to the day that will be identified as a Non-Standard Working Day (e.g. Saturday & Sunday)
  • Non-Working Days - Click the 'Add Day' button. Enter the Subject (e.g. New Years Day) and enter the Date. Click the 'Add Day' button to add the entry. Add as many entries as necessary and when ready, click the 'Save' button to save the Non-Working Day entries.
