Housekeeping Holiday Dates is an optional feature available when using Housekeeping in RMS to automatically alter the housekeeping schedule on a reservation when the ordinary task frequency would otherwise fall on the holiday date.

The Housekeeping Task Frequency is used to determine how a task is scheduled on a reservation and the behaviour of the schedule when the task would fall on the arrival date, departure date, specific days of the week, or a holiday date.

Task frequency behaviour allows for predetermining how a Housekeeping Task will be scheduled on a reservation in different scenarios to accommodate known operational changes that would otherwise impact housekeeping services at the property.
