Public Holidays
Public holidays are non-working days that the system manages for you—no manual setup.
- Read-only & auto-populated: Holidays are loaded by the system and pre-approved.
- Pattern-aware: The system reads each employee’s working pattern to add only the holidays that apply.
- Auto-cleanup on contract changes: If a contract amendment changes the working pattern, no-longer-applicable holidays are removed automatically.

How it behaves
Section titled “How it behaves”- Holiday dates are fixed and visible; you can’t edit or add them.
- Time-off requests on public holidays are blocked; allowances exclude those days.
- Rotas mark holidays; payroll can use them for holiday pay rules.
- When a working pattern changes, the system re-evaluates and deletes holidays that no longer apply.
