Add Country-Specific Holidays

Use the Holiday Calendars tab in Holidays and Absence in the Company Settings submodule in the Settings module to add country-specific holidays to selected holiday calendars.

To use Holidays and Absence in the Company Settings submodule, you must have access to Settings as defined in User Access Rights under Settings.

Note: In WorkBook, holidays are based on the holiday calendar of the Company to which you belong. On timesheets, public holidays are indicated by the icon, while vacations or paid time off taken by an employee are indicated by the icon.

To add country specific holidays:

  1. On the main toolbar, click Settings .
  2. If you have more than one Company in your WorkBook system, use the drop-down list above the left pane of the Settings page to select the Company that contains the calendar to which you want to add country-specific holidays.
  3. In the left pane of the Settings page, click Company Settings > Holidays and Absence.
  4. Click the Holiday Calendars tab.
  5. Use the drop-down list to select the calendar to which you want to add country-specific holidays and click Add Country-Specific Holidays .
  6. In the Add Country-Specific Holidays dialog box, use the drop-down list to select the country whose holidays you want to add and the appropriate From Date, then click OK.
    Note: The From Date determines which country-specific holidays in the year WorkBook adds to your selected calendar. For example, if you select June 19, WorkBook adds all of the country-specific holidays from June 19 until the end of the year.
