Adding Public Holidays without registered absence
To add the Public holidays, go to the Settings and click on Employees>Public holidays.
Click on the box with the name +Add group.
Here you can give the group a name and choose the department it should be tied to. After saving, click on the pencil icon.
By clicking +Import holiday, you can select the country and region you'd like to import public holidays for.
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.
Adding Public Holidays with registered absence
After public holidays have been imported to your account, you can always set that an absence is added to the public holidays automatically. To do so go to Settings>Absence>click on the pencil icon behind your absence policy
Set Absence on public holidays on the absence you'd like added those days (for example vacation)
💡Tip: If there are any existing absences on these days - the national holidays won’t be added automatically, so the best would be to import national holidays before planning vacations.
