Manage Holidays

Holidays mark days that should not be treated like normal workdays. Keep holiday records current before employees submit leave, managers review attendance, or payroll is prepared.

Review Holiday Records

1. Open HRM > Holidays.
2. Review the holiday name, date, and scope.
3. Add missing holidays before the period begins.
4. Edit incorrect dates before attendance or payroll review.
5. Remove or archive holidays only after checking affected records.

Use clear names such as Memorial Day or Company Retreat Day so managers and employees understand why the date is treated differently.

Impact Areas

Holiday records can affect:

• attendance interpretation
• employee leave decisions
• payroll review
• staffing and coverage planning
• HRM reports

If a holiday was missing, review leave requests and attendance records for that date. Employees may have requested leave for a day that should already be a holiday.

Yearly Holiday Setup

At the start of each year or policy cycle, add public holidays, company holidays, and known closure dates. For regional teams, document which holidays apply to which employee groups if your workspace does not model separate regional calendars.

After adding holidays, test one attendance or leave scenario so managers know how the dates appear.

Before Editing A Past Holiday

Be careful when changing a holiday that is already inside a reviewed attendance, leave, or payroll period. First check whether employees submitted leave on that date, whether attendance was marked, and whether payroll has already been approved or paid.

If the holiday correction affects paid payroll, document the correction and use the next approved payroll process rather than silently changing historical totals.

Holiday Review Checklist

Before opening a new leave period:

1. Add public and company holidays.
2. Check dates and names.
3. Confirm regional exceptions.
4. Test one leave request that crosses a holiday.
5. Tell managers where exceptions are documented.

Troubleshooting

If a holiday does not appear as expected, check the date, active workspace, time zone, and whether the employee group follows a different regional schedule.

If payroll or attendance looks wrong around a holiday, fix the holiday and source attendance or leave records before changing payroll totals.
