When the President signs an executive order declaring a non-holiday day as an official holiday, a patch must be released that will modify the software to identify this non-holiday day as a holiday. This patch MUST be installed prior to the opening of the pay period which contains the newly declared holiday. This declared holiday falls within pay period 03-25 which runs from 12/14/2003 through 12/27/2003. Payroll usually opens pay periods on the Thursday immediately preceding the first day of the pay period. For pay period 03-25 this would be Thursday 12/11/2003. However, the VistA PAID/ETA software will allow the opening of pay periods up to 7 days prior to the first day of the pay period. Patch PRS*4*88 adds December 26, 2003 as a holiday to the Enhanced Time and Attendance module of PAID 4.0 (ETA) software. The primary effect of adding the holiday to ETA is to correctly update employee timecards when pay period 03-25 is opened. Once the patch is installed, December 26, 2003 will be treated as all other holidays in ETA.
