How to Manage Public Holidays

 

⚠️ Important: The system does not automatically update holidays every year, because:

  • Some holidays change dates yearly.

  • Not all companies follow the same public holidays.

You need to update your company’s holiday list each year.

Note: Some public holidays may already be included under the State Holidays function, depending on the state. Check the State Holidays list to avoid duplicates.


? Access Public Holiday Settings

1️⃣ Go to Global Configurations → Settings → Public Holidays > View List

No Button Function
1 Add Add a single public holiday
2 Create Bulk Add multiple holidays at once (recommended for annual setup)
3 Edit Update existing holiday information
4 Delete Remove a holiday from the system
