Overview

In Operating, you can assign holiday calendars to entire Sites, ensuring that country- and state-specific public holidays are automatically reflected in everyone’s schedules. This helps you manage time off accurately across different locations.


When to Use

Use holiday calendars when:

  • You want to apply official public holidays across an entire site.

  • Your teams operate in different regions with different holiday schedules.

  • You want to add or remove team-wide non-working days (e.g. company offsites).


How to Set Up Holiday Calendars

1. Navigate to Holiday Calendars

  • Go to: Settings → Organization → Holiday Calendars

2. Add a Holiday Calendar

  • Select the appropriate country and state/region.

  • The calendar will auto-populate with recognized public holidays for that location.

3. Assign the Calendar to a Site

  • Go to: Settings → Organization → Sites

  • Add the holiday calendar that you created to the site.

4. Customize If Needed

You can:

  • Remove any holiday that doesn’t apply to your team.

  • Add new days off like internal offsites or company-wide closures.

Everyone at the Site will have these days automatically added to their schedule.


Public holidays vs. time off

Keep in mind that a public holiday is not the same as individual time off. Everyone in the Operating team is part of a single time off project, which is used to manage and allocate individual time off (e.g., vacation or personal days). Public holidays are tracked separately and apply to everyone by default.
