Field Name	Descrtiption
Name	Name of the holiday.
ID	Unique ID for the holiday.
Date	Date of the holiday.
Multiplier	The number that the holiday overtime of the order, set on the rate chart, is multiplied by if an order is scheduled on this holiday. If this value is 0, no overtime will be added to the base rate. Example The Holiday Overtime is set to $25 on the base rate chart of the order and the Multiplier is set to 3. This would add $75 to the Base Rate charge of an order placed on the holiday.
Open For Business	Always - Orders can be placed on this holiday and the cost of the order is affected by the Multiplier value. Never - Orders cannot be placed on this holiday. Follow Order Type - Orders can be placed depending on the order type's Hours of Operation tab setup. See Order Types.
