Set up your holiday calendar

The tab lists each holiday with its date, source, confidence and an Observed switch. Only observed holidays count as holidays in attendance and payroll.

1. 1

   Click Add Company Holiday. You need payroll create permission.

2. 2

   Enter the Holiday Name and Date.

3. 3

   If you have more than one branch, choose the branches it applies to — or leave Branch empty for all branches.

4. 4

   Click Add Holiday. The holiday is added as a full-day holiday and observed straight away.

Switch Observed off to stop a holiday counting. The day then behaves like a normal working day — employees who don’t punch in show as Absent, and payroll counts it as a working day. Switch it back on at any time. You need payroll update permission.

Source (National or Company-specific) and Confidence (Confirmed or Verify) are suggested from the holiday’s name. Festivals whose dates move each year, such as Diwali or Eid, are marked Verify — double-check their dates.
