Holiday administration

The Holiday Administration window allows you to specify given days during the calendar year that are considered holidays at your laboratory. This ensures that days that your laboratory is not operating will be subtracted from the calculations in the Turn Around Time reports.

Note: HAWS does not automatically add any holidays.
