How to create a rule that only applies to certain day types in haddock HR

In haddock HR, you can create rules that do not always apply, but only when certain conditions are met. A common case is wanting to count hours worked on holidays separately.

Steps to create the rule

1. Go to Settings in the side menu.
2. Open Rules.
3. Click Create new rule (blue button at the top right).
4. Assign a name to the rule, for example: Holiday hours.
5. Under Time type, select Work time.
6. Under Account: select an account called Holiday hours

(if it does not exist, it must be created first).

7. Under Apply only to day types, select Fe (Holiday).
8. Save the rule.

Result

Whenever someone works on a day marked as a holiday, those hours will automatically be accumulated in the Holiday hours account, without affecting the rest of the worked hours.
