Please refer to the following naming conventions for both State and National Holidays:&#x20;

**State Based Holidays**

* In order to create a **State** specific Holiday, simply ensure that you include **both** the Short and Long `State Suffix` from the table below
* For example: to create a **Victorian only** Holiday for the **Melbourne Cup** on 01/11/2022, you need to use the following `Holiday Name`: `Melbourne Cup (VIC) (Victoria)`

**National Holidays**

* In order to create a **National** Holiday, simply ensure that you type **only** the `Holiday Name` and do not include any reference to a `State Suffix` from the table below
* For example: to create a National Holiday for **Christmas Day** on 25/12/2022, you need to use the following `Holiday Name`: `Christmas Day`

### 3. Link your `Holiday` to a `Business Hour` Record

Once you have created your `Holiday` Records, it is crucial to link them to a `Business Hour` Record. To do so, first select the `Holiday` and then click the `Add/Remove` button under `Business Hours`, as shown below. &#x20;
