How to Manage Public Holidays
The Holidays section is where you manage your public holiday calendar and control which employees each holiday applies to. Holidays drive pay calculations, attendance rules, and reporting.
Getting There
-
Click Settings (cog icon) in the left sidebar.
-
Select Holidays from the settings menu.

Enabling Public Holidays
-
If you see the Public Holidays toggle at the top, switch it on and click Save to activate holiday tracking for your company.

Viewing Holidays
-
Use the date range picker to filter holidays for a specific period.
-
The table shows each holiday's Date, Holiday Name, Assigned Staff count, and available actions.

Creating a Holiday
-
Click Create Holiday.
-
Enter the Holiday Name and Date.
-
Click Save.

Syncing Official Public Holidays
-
Click Synchronise New Public Holidays to import your country's official holidays.
-
Already-synced holidays will not be duplicated.

Managing Staff Assignments
By default, a holiday may apply to all employees. To assign specific staff:
-
Click Manage Assignment (or the staff count) next to the holiday.

-
Use the employee filter to select which employees this holiday applies to.
-
Confirm your selection.
This is useful when only certain teams or contract types qualify for a specific holiday.

Deleting a Holiday
-
Click the delete icon next to a holiday to remove it.
-
Deleting a holiday removes it from future payroll and attendance calculations, but does not change already-processed records.

Tips
-
Sync official holidays at the start of each year so your calendar stays current.
-
Use staff assignments to handle regional or role-based holidays (e.g. only full-time employees get a certain public holiday).
-
Review holiday assignments before each payroll run to ensure accurate pay.
