# How do I attach assignments/non-working days to employees?

**Non-Working Days** (Excluded Days) are used to record dated events within the system such as **Bank Holidays** and **Closure Days**, which the system can use in order to ensure the correct recording of **Holiday** and **Sickness**. The dates are grouped together into sets, which can then be attached to the employee's calendar within **Cintra iQ**. Once the exclusion dates are attached to the employee calendar in **Cintra iQ**, the dates can be seen in the employee's **Self-Service** calendar.

## To attach non-working days

1. Navigate to the employee's **Time Management** form Go to **Cintra iQ**: Employment record > Forms > Time Management.
2. In the **Non Working Days** pane of the **Non Working** tab, right-click: **New**. The **Select Non Working Days** window appears.
3. Highlight the desired record.
4. Click the **Select** button. The **Insert Employee Exclusion** form appears.
5. Enter the date of the period in which the non working day(s) applies.
6. Click the **OK** button. The exclusion record appears in the **Non Working Days** pane. The exclusion dates appear in the employee's calendars.

Within the **Post History** form, you can assign a post to an employee and attach assignments to the post via the **Assignments** tab.
