# Switcharoos

You can switch a public holiday to your preferred date.

Sometimes our friends or family work in an industry where they have to work through the public holiday and we'd prefer to take time when they do. Or maybe there's a cultural or religious significant date we'd prefer time for. Or sometimes we just want to mix it up and take a long weekend. 

Here's our approach with switching public holidays:

* You can switch to a date within 2 weeks, or other cultural/religious significant date
* If you're part time, the public holiday has to fall on your agreed working days
* Everybody defaults to the public holiday to their place of residence e.g. if you move to NZ/Toowoomba/Yeppoon the public holiday date for that region applies

#### How to request a Switcharoo:

Ping Jayne and she will sort you out. Unlike other leave types, Xero can't jive with Switcharoos so we do these ones manually.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://handbook.sixpivot.com.au/how-we-work/leave/switcharoos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
