Overview

Schedules in Zendesk are like schedules in most other things: windows of time. We use these to determine business hours and various regional working hours.

GitLab Schedules

Holidays

All schedules should utilize the same holidays. The ones we currently put into Zendesk are:

• Easter (this is a "movable feast" holiday, so it changes each year)
• Christmas (December 25th)
• New Years Day (January 1st)

On those day, the schedules "stop", which results in the SLA clock not moving. This allows for Support to actually have those holidays "off".
