# Public holidays and days off

On the **Holidays** page you decide which days are non-working at your company. Every holiday you add becomes a day off and is taken into account when the schedule is planned, so you will not plan work on days when there is none. You can import holidays automatically from a Google calendar, show trading Sundays or add your own and assign them to particular locations.

They are configured by the **Organisation Administrator**.

# Opening the Holidays page

1. In the menu on the left click **Company Settings** (the cog icon at the bottom).
2. In the settings panel on the left pick **Holidays** from the **REQUESTS AND CALENDAR** group.

# The toggles at the top

There are two toggles at the top of the page:

- **Google calendar integration** — once on, the system automatically assigns to the company every holiday from the Google calendar for the country chosen.
- **Trading Sundays** — once on, trading Sundays appear on the list as separate cards.

|| Remember: holidays imported from Google and trading Sundays are added automatically and cannot be deleted. You can only delete your own holidays, added by hand.

# Filtering the list

You narrow the list of holidays down with filters:

- **Country**
- **Month**
- **Location**
- **Year**

The holidays are grouped by month and shown as cards.

# Adding your own holiday

1. Click **Add holiday**.
2. Enter the **name** of the holiday.
3. Set the **date** by picking the day from the calendar.
4. In the **Locations** field indicate one or more locations the holiday is to apply to. With no location indicated, the holiday covers the whole company.
5. Tick **Repeats every year** if the holiday is to come back on the same day each year.
6. Click **Add**.

| Important: every holiday added means a non-working day.

# Saving the changes

Once you have made your changes (turning the toggles on or adding holidays), click **Save changes** in the top right corner of the screen.
