How can I create and set up a holiday calendar?

To create and set up a holiday calendar, follow this path: Configuration >> Calendars >> Holidays >> Create.

Keep in mind that each team member can only have one holiday configuration assigned per year. When you assign someone to a new configuration, the previous one will be automatically deactivated. However, it’s possible to have a different configuration for each year.

The holiday calendar setup process is divided into 5 steps. In each one, you can define different elements:
 

1. General

  • Enter the calendar name.
  • Choose whether holidays will be generated by days or by hours.
     


2. Time: configure how available time will be generated

  • Define whether the time will be limited or unlimited.
  • Choose how holidays will be calculated:
    • In working days.
    • In calendar days.
  • Enter the maximum number of days for the calendar.
  • Set up whether extra days will apply based on seniority.
  • Choose whether time will renew based on the calendar year or the working year.
     


3. Advanced: customise additional options

  • Define when employees will be able to access next year’s calendar.
  • Decide whether time can carry over from one year to the next.
  • Enable or disable the option to take partial holidays (e.g. half days).

 

4. Requests: choose how holidays will be requested

  • Do you want to restrict requests? Yes / No
  • Will employees be allowed to request more time than they currently have available? Yes / No
     

5. Summary

Review all configured details in the final summary. If everything looks correct, click "Create" to save the calendar.
