Set up public holiday groups

How to create public holiday groups and assign employees to them.

Written by Oliver Cook

Public holiday groups control which public holidays apply to different employees. They help ensure employees receive the correct holidays based on where they work.

A company would create more than one public holiday group when:

  • Employees work in different countries

  • Employees follow different regional public holidays

EXAMPLE: In the UK, some employees follow England public holidays, while others follow Scotland public holidays.

Public holiday groups let you manage these differences accurately.


Create a Public Holiday Group

Set up a new public holiday group to manage which public holidays apply to specific employees.


Assign employees to an existing Public Holiday Group

Add employees to an existing public holiday group at any time after you create it.


Assign new Public Holiday Groups to public holidays

Link a public holiday group to public holidays, even if you added or imported the holidays earlier.
