Hi,

if I understand correctly, there is so far no general solution
for handling public holidays in OpenERP, right?

Public holidays are a little bit complicated:

- Depending on the type of company, employees might not work
  on public holidays without having to sacrify a paid leave
  day. If they have to work on holidays, they might get an
  extra pay.

  (To make things more complicated, some companies in Germany
  voluntarily count the 24. and 31. of december as 50% holiday,
  i.e. employees either work 4 hrs, which count as 8 hrs, or
  they have to sacrify only a half leave day.)

- Scheduling activities on holidays (phone calls, production,
  shipping) might make sense or not. Or some things might just
  be more expensive on holidays.

- Public holidays depend on the country, but sometimes even
  on the state/area. E.g. in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland,
  even different local communities have six different
  combinations of handling certain public holidays.

I wonder, which is the best way to implement public holidays.
Of course, they have to be visible in the calendar, so maybe
crm.meeting is the correct model to build on?

The HR and MRP models must take the holidays into account,
depending on the employees base etc.

Any ideas about this issue? Maybe even an implementation?

Thanks in advance!
