How do I select the public holiday calendar for my country?

On the Calendars and dates tab, use the Company public holiday calendar field to choose the built-in calendar for your country. The whole company follows this calendar, but an office or a single employment can use a different one. Click View next to the field to see the holidays included in the calendar.

Important

Only create a custom public holiday calendar if none of the built-in calendars fit your company's needs. If a built-in calendar is almost right and you only need to add a few extra company-specific days off, add them as Company holidays instead. For more information, read our article: Configure Company holidays, Restricted dates, and other Time off settings.

Only Owners and Admins can change this setting.

How do I create a custom public holiday calendar?

1. On the Calendars and dates tab, go to Custom public holiday calendars and click Add new.
2. In the Add new calendar window, enter a Name and click Save.
3. Click the pencil icon next to the new calendar to open it.
4. Make sure Own days is selected. (Select Inherit from a country if the calendar should start from a country's holidays.)
5. Use the arrows next to the year to choose the year you want to add holidays for.
6. Click Add public holiday.
7. In the New holiday window, enter a Name and a Date. Turn on Close only part of the day if the holiday doesn't cover a full day.
8. Click Add public holiday, or click Save and add another to add more holidays.

Note

You must add holidays for each year separately, for example 2026, 2027, and so on.

Important

A new custom calendar does nothing until you select it, either in Company public holiday calendar for the whole company, or on a single office or employment.

Only Owners and Admins can create a custom public holiday calendar.

How do I edit or delete a holiday in my custom public holiday calendar?

1. On the Calendars and dates tab, go to Custom public holiday calendars and click the pencil icon next to your calendar.
2. Select the year of the holiday you want to change.
3. Click the pencil icon to edit the holiday, or the trash icon to delete it.
4. Click Close when you're done.

To rename the calendar, click the pencil icon next to the calendar name at the top of the window. To delete the whole calendar, click the trash icon next to it in the Custom public holiday calendars list.

FAQs

Do I need to add public holidays every year?

Yes. Public holidays in a custom public holiday calendar must be added for each year separately.

Can I add a few extra days off without creating a custom public holiday calendar?

Yes. If one of the built-in public holiday calendars fits your company, add the extra days as Company holidays instead of creating a custom calendar. For more information, read our article: What other settings can I configure in Time off settings?
