When your employees submit leave through the HR platform, we will factor in the relevant public holiday into their leave requests. The process is automatic and the platform will apply the relevant public holidays to an employee's leave request without you needing to do anything.
To use this Public Holiday Calandar feature, you must first set up your locations. To read details on how to set up a location within the HR platform, please refer to this article. Setting up locations will allow you to link your employees to a public holiday calendar, and then allow the employee to submit accurate leave requests based on only the public holidays that only affect their requested dates.
Things to note
- For any Custom Public Holiday Calendars, these will need to be updated every year, as they are not auto updated by the platform.
- Where multiple Public Holiday calendars have been set up and linked to a particular Location, all the public holidays combined within both calendars will apply to the employees who are classified under that Location
- Newly created Public Holidays will only be applied to any future Leave Requests that haven't yet been submitted by employees
