How can I import public holidays and add them to the calendars I created?

Once you have created a calendar, you can import each country's public holidays. You have the option of adding official national holidays or customised public holidays. Follow these routes below to do so: 

Configuration >> Calendars >> Public holidays >> Import public holidays

Select holidays according to your country or your local holidays. If the preset days do not match your company's needs, you can remove them by unchecking the blue check icon next to them.

Configuration >> Calendars >> Public holidays >> Add custom holiday

If you need to add more public holidays you can do it from "add custom holiday". You will be able to name it, choose the day and assign it to your employees. You can also choose weekends or any day to be a holiday in your company. This way, if an employee works that day, he/she will be able to compensate it for another one later on. Remember that you can create as many calendars as you need and assign them to different groups of employees.
