Configure Holidays and Weekends
Holidays and weekend patterns tell attendance and leave which days are non-working. Set them before go-live so requests and daily marking stay consistent.
Company holidays
- Go to HRMS → Holidays.
- Add named dates by type — for example national, regional, festival, company, or optional.
- Use department scope where your company configures holidays for only some teams.
- When a new year starts, use Copy from year to duplicate last year’s list, then edit exceptions.
Weekend configuration
- Go to HRMS → Weekend Config.
- Choose the standard weekly off days.
- Set alternate Saturday (or similar) options if your company uses them.
How calendars affect other screens
| Area | Effect |
|---|---|
| Daily attendance | Holiday and weekend statuses appear when calendars apply |
| Leave requests | Non-working days are considered in day calculations and policy checks |
| Month calendar | Visual month grid shows holiday and weekend days alongside present/absent/leave |
:::tip Copy, then prune Copying last year is faster than retyping. After copy, remove one-off days that don’t apply and add new regional or company holidays for the new year. :::
