If there’s a public holiday that you need to show on your calendar, you can add this manually.
📎NOTE: Public holidays won't show in your account by default. You need to add these to your relevant public holiday groups each year. We recommend you do this before the calendar year begins.
Click your name in the top right, then click Settings.
On the settings menu click Calendar, then click Public holidays.
Click Add public holiday.
Select a Date.
If required, select whether you want to Repeat it every year.
Give the public holiday a Name.
Configure your Allowance count settings:
Select how you want this public holiday to affect your employees' time off allowance.
Do not count against employee allowance (Default)
Even if an employee selects a public holiday as part of their time off request, the system will ignore that day. It won't deduct the day from the allowance. Select this option when employees don't work on bank holidays by default.
Count against employee allowance
This setup will deduct the public holiday date from the employee's allowance when someone requests time off for this date.
📎NOTE: The request will update the balance only after the request's approval.
Select which Holiday Group you want this public holiday to show for.
📎NOTE: If you don't create holiday groups, the public holiday will apply to all employees.
Click Save.
The public holiday will display in the calendar for all the employees assigned to the associated group.
📌TIP: Instead of adding public holidays manually, you can import them instead. This is useful for adding multiple amounts.
