Two calendars
Managers with permission to manage events open Holidays & Events. Employees open Self, then Calendar, and see the same days without the edit buttons. Leave that falls across a holiday uses this list when the leave type allows intervening holidays. See leave.
Public holidays
- Open Holidays & Events.
- Choose Public Holidays. The window is Manage Public Holidays.
- Add the dates, then Save. Cancel drops the edits.
The legend on the calendar marks Holiday and Event in different colours, so a day off and a town hall do not look the same.
Events
Add puts an event on a day that is not a holiday. You can also Add Event Note or Edit Event Note on a day that already has something. Employees see these on their calendar. They cannot change the public holiday list.
Calendar start month
Settings, then Calendar. The page title is Event Settings and the header is Calendar Settings. Set Calendar Start Month and Save.
That month is the calendar year. It is not the same field as Leaves Start Month on attendance rules, and not the same as Financial Year Start Month in company settings. Set each one to match how your company actually counts the year.
