# Adding A Second Holiday on the Same Day (Double Holiday Setup)

Learning how to setup double holidays on Sprout HR is a useful tool which may come in handy on the rare occasion that two holidays fall on the same day. For example, the August 21 marks a significant day in this country -- we celebrated the Ninoy Aquino Day, in commemoration of our hero's death, and the Eid'l Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, a celebration dear to our Muslim brothers and sisters. From the perspective of HR professionals and employers, this is a matter of filing a double holiday in the system, and attributing proper compensation for work rendered on that day. Learning how to setup double holidays on Sprout HR is a useful tool which may come in handy.

Let's take a look at how we can setup this double holiday on Sprout HR: 

 

1\. On the **Maintenance** tab on the Navigation toolbar, select **Company** from the drop-down list that appears. 

 

 

2\. On the Company page, click on the **Holidays** tab. 

 

 

3\. Select Default Holiday Plan.

4\. Click on the here link or the plus sign icon to add a Custom Holiday. Note that we cannot add a holiday with the same day under Standard Holidays, because the system doesn't allow it. So we shall add the holiday with the same day under the Custom Holidays.

5\. A notification message will appear that a Double Holiday is detected. This means that the holiday type  of Ninoy Aquino Day (which is under Standard Holiday) will be followed. The holiday types in the system are Non-Working Holiday, Mandatory Holiday and Optional Holiday. Again, this only refers to the holiday type, not the holiday premium rate (which is automatically DH rate for double holidays).

 

 

6\. After filling out the correct details as seen above, and then clicking on the Save button, make sure that the checkbox is ticked beside the new Custom Holiday, and then click on the Save button below.
