Holidays are treated as if they are just another day of the week. This allows holidays to have access time
periods applied to them. Six holiday schedules are available for definition. This allows certain holidays
to have different access times than others do. For example, on holidays such as Presidents’ Day or
Martin Luther King’s birthday government offices are closed but many businesses remain open; on
holidays such as Christmas or Thanksgiving virtually all business and government offices are closed.
An access control network might need to assign holiday access times differently to cover these two
types of holidays.
Before defining holiday schedules, take some time and map out all the holiday possibilities for the site.
Consider the relative importance of the holiday and determine if multiple holiday schedules are
required.
NOTE: Certain holiday dates change from year-to-year (i.e. Easter or Thanksgiving). Operators should
review and update the holiday schedules prior to the beginning of a new year to ensure proper holiday
coverage.
