Leave Balances:
Cocoon categorizes an employee’s time away by evaluating four scenarios, which consider both the length of the company holiday closure and the employee’s leave duration. Using this information, Cocoon determines whether the employee’s leave balances will be applied.
These scenarios are outlined in a table, where rows represent the employee’s leave duration and columns represent the length of the company closure. To interpret the table, start with the row that corresponds to the employee’s leave length, then reference the appropriate column for the company closure duration.
For example: If an employee is taking less than a work week of leave and the company closure is a week or more, then the Company Holiday days are not counted towards the employee’s leave time.
The following assumes the employee is not otherwise scheduled and expected to work on company-closed days:
| Company closure is less than a week | Company closure is a week or more |
Employee is taking less than a work week of leave | Company Holiday days are not counted as leave time | Company Holiday days are not counted as leave time |
Employee is taking a work week or more of leave | All leave days including Company Holiday days are counted as leave time | Company Holiday days are not counted as leave time |
When Holiday time is not counted as leave time, it is shown in the light green color on the timeline:
Pay Clarity
To understand how company holiday time impacts an employee’s leave, refer to the leave timeline. This timeline indicates the expected payment source during different parts of the leave period. If you have designated a "Paid Holiday" in your Cocoon settings, holidays will appear in light green on the pay timeline.
Additionally, Holiday pay will be included within the pay files provided during any applicable employee’s leave.
