Public holidays aren't added to your Sage HR calendar automatically. You must add these to your calendar before the next calendar year begins, and assign them to your relevant public holiday groups.
EXAMPLE: Add your 2024 public holidays at the end of 2023 before January 2024.
There are two ways to add public holidays:
📌TIP: Use the import option if you need to add multiple public holidays.
📎NOTE: Adding public holidays only adds it to the calendar, it doesn't take it off an employee's holiday allowance.
If you want to show public holidays as time off, you must process these as time off requests.
Alternatively, set the time off policy allowance to be minus the public holidays, then make sure the Count public holidays as work days setting is not selected. This is so that if an employee's time off coincides with a public holiday, it won't come off the allowance that you've already set to be minus the public holidays.
