Overview
This guide will give you an understanding of the different ways you can add and manage Public Holidays in edays.
How can I import public holidays?
There are multiple methods:
- Using our Feed: Country-specific Public Holidays can be added with a couple of clicks.
- Manually adding: For exceptional dates (e.g. state funerals), manually add individual Public Holidays one-by-one.
- Importing: Bulk-upload a CSV of dates when the feed doesn’t cover your list.
Flexibility of Public Holidays
- Create separate lists for different countries or regions (e.g. Germany – Bavaria vs Berlin).
- Apply a Public Holiday group globally (all users in one country) or to a subset of users by location.
- Updates to dates cascade automatically to all users assigned to that group.
Tip: Review your Public Holiday groups annually to add or update future dates.
