Learn how to manage public holidays in absentify, including customizing holiday sets, assigning them to users, and enabling Outlook calendar synchronization.
The Public Holidays feature in absentify allows you to manage and customize holiday sets for your team, ensuring accurate absence calculations and tailored configurations for employees in different regions or countries.
You can customize an existing holiday set that was manually created by:
Clicking the pencil icon next to the holiday set on the Public holidays page.
Making changes such as:
Adding holidays: Use the + Add date option to create new holidays. Specify the name, date, and duration (full day, first half, or second half).
Editing holidays: Click an entry to change its name, date, or add translations for multilingual users.
Deleting holidays: Remove unnecessary holidays by clicking the trash icon next to the entry.
Translations ensure that holidays appear in the correct language for users with different language settings. Note: Adding translations and edits is only available for custom public holiday entries. Predefined holiday sets generated by absentify cannot be edited but can only be deleted entirely.
Go to Settings > Public holidays and click the trash icon next to the holiday set.
Confirm the deletion.
Deleting a holiday set removes it from all associated users. Existing absences that included these holidays will remain unaffected in the absence history but will not factor into future calculations. Ensure the set is no longer in use before deleting.
