Holidays, festivals and branch holidays

Add holidays once, give branches their own holidays, and send festival greetings.

Go to Leave Management → Holidays.

Adding holidays

  • From the festival list: tick the Indian festivals you give off. They're added on the right date every year, even when the date moves (Diwali, Holi, Eid and so on).
  • Your own: add a name and date, for example your company's foundation day.

Branch holidays

If your Pune and Chennai offices have different holidays, choose the branches when you add the holiday. Then:

  • employees only see holidays for all branches plus their own branch,
  • attendance, leave counting and automatic attendance use the same rule.

Leave the branch empty for holidays that apply to everyone.

Festival greetings

On the morning of each festival holiday, everyone gets a short greeting email from the company. You can turn this off in settings (Morning Reminders).

Not working?

An employee sees another branch's holiday. That holiday has no branch chosen, so it applies to everyone. Edit it and pick the branch.

An employee doesn't see a holiday. Check the employee's branch in their profile matches the holiday's branch.

Frequently asked questions

Can holidays show in Google or Outlook calendar?

Yes, they can be synced to a connected calendar. See Meetings and calendar sync.

Do I need to add festivals every year?

No. Festivals picked from the list come back every year on their correct date.
