Every free and paid account comes with a Default holiday calendar. The default calendar is automatically set related to the country selected during signup. All employees are initially linked to this calendar, ensuring that leave calculations match the public holidays of that country.
For paid plans, you can add extra holiday calendars. This is useful if your teams work in different countries or states, or if you need to manage multiple teams with different holidays. Each calendar can be tailored to a specific location.
You can set your company Calendars and Holidays from the Company Holidays option. There, you can add Calendars and holidays related to any country where your company is located. Once assigned, the employee’s leave will follow that calendar, and holidays in the calendar will automatically be excluded from leave counts. This makes it easy to manage holidays across different locations and ensures that leave calculations are accurate for every employee.
