Before You Start
You need access to the Admin area before you can configure public holidays.
You may also need permission to update organisational configuration settings.
Required permissions:
View the Configuration tab in the admin panel
Make changes to organisational configuration settings in the admin panel
If you cannot see the Configuration tab or save changes, ask an administrator to check your role permissions.
Go to Admin
From the left navigation menu, click Admin.
This opens the Admin area, where you can manage users, roles, logs, integrations, billing, configuration, and notifications.
Open the Configuration Tab
At the top of the Admin page, click Configuration.
This opens the configuration settings for the workspace.
Open the Roster Configuration
Inside Configuration, open the Roster section.
This section contains roster-related settings, including public holidays.
Find the Public Holidays Section
Scroll down until you find the Public Holidays section.
This section is used to assign public holidays to branches.
The page explains that for a public holiday to be used within the roster and finance, a branch must be assigned.
Enter the Public Holiday Name
In the Public Holiday Name field, enter the name of the holiday.
Examples:
New Year’s Day
Australia Day
Good Friday
Christmas Day
Use a clear name so the holiday is easy to identify later.
Select the Branches
Use the Branches field to choose which branches the public holiday applies to.
A public holiday must be assigned to a branch before it can be used in the roster and finance.
If no branch is selected, the holiday may not apply correctly.
Add the Date
In the Date field, select the date of the public holiday.
Use the date picker icon to choose the correct date.
Make sure the date is accurate before saving.
Add Another Public Holiday if Needed
If you need to add more than one public holiday, click the plus button.
This adds another public holiday entry where you can enter a new name, branch, and date.
Use this when adding multiple public holidays at once.
Remove a Public Holiday if Needed
If you need to remove a public holiday entry, click the trash icon beside the entry.
Only remove an entry if it is no longer needed or was added by mistake.
Save the Public Holiday Settings
After entering the public holiday name, branch, and date, click Save.
The Save button is located at the bottom of the Public Holidays section.
Once saved, the holiday will be available for roster and payroll-related calculations.
Important Notes
Public holidays must be assigned to a branch before they can be applied correctly.
Saved public holidays may impact roster scheduling and payroll calculations.
Always check the public holiday name, branch, and date before saving.
If a public holiday applies to multiple branches, make sure all relevant branches are selected.
If a public holiday is entered incorrectly, update the details and click Save again.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot save a public holiday:
Refresh the browser.
Check your internet connection.
Make sure the public holiday name is entered.
Make sure at least one branch is selected.
Make sure a valid date is selected.
Check that your role has permission to update configuration settings.
Contact an administrator if the issue continues.
