How can I add Public holidays?

When adding public holidays, they will be displayed in your schedule and in case of rate cards that are active on public holidays, they will automatically be triggered after this.

Public holiday groups

You can add the holidays in the following way: Go to Settings > Employees > Public holidays > + Create group. You will be asked to give the group a name and select for which departments the public holiday group is relevant.

If you wish to edit an existing group, you can click on the Pencil icon. When you're inside the Public Holiday Group, you can import holidays and manually add holidays.

Importing holidays

With this feature, you can quickly import all known holidays specified by country. If there are varying holidays per region, district or province, you can select a specific region. Always check if the imported holidays are relevant for your departments.

Now click on Next, check the holidays once more, and then press Import.

💡Tip: If you'd like absences added automatically when importing public holidays, you can configure that in your absence policy.

Should you still be missing certain holidays, you can still manually add them via the button +Add holiday.

❗Caution: If your employees are not working during a public holiday and need their hours not to drop into a minus, the holidays can be added for employees via a bulk action.

To do this, go to Employees > Select all employees via the checkboxes on the left> Bulk actions > Add absences. Here you can add the "National holiday" absence for all employees.
