Public Holidays - Best Practice

Who this guide is for: System administrators – Requires ‘Global rota’ permission


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.
