Holiday Management

Effective holiday management is essential for any organization to maintain accurate attendance records, ensure compliance with regional holiday requirements. The Holiday Management section empowers you to create and manage holidays across all your work locations.

Scenario: For an organization with offices across the UAE, managing holidays across different emirates can be a bit complex. While national holidays like Eid al-Fitr and UAE National Day are observed countrywide, the dates and additional observances can sometimes vary, especially between public and private sectors. With the Holiday Management feature, the HR team can add the right holidays to the calendar for each location, ensuring employees across all emirates can plan ahead and celebrate meaningful moments with their families.

Once you click Configure Now for Holiday Management after enabling leave and attendance, you will view the Holiday Management overview screen.

The Holiday Management overview screen allows you to view and manage the holidays you’ve created and provides an option to add new holidays.
