Holidays

Manage the days your organization observes under Settings → Holidays: the Public holidays that come from Eban’s country calendar, and any Custom days you add. The page opens on the current year, filtered to Active holidays.

Use Settings → Holidays to view public holidays, as well as manage holidays specific to your organization. The list opens to the current year and shows Active holidays by default.

Note

You need the Manage Holidays permission to manage custom holidays.

The holidays list

The list shows each holiday’s name, date, and whether it is Public or Custom.

Use the filters to narrow the list by year or status (Active or Inactive), or search by name.

Public and custom holidays

Source	Description	What you can do
Public	Official public holidays. Managed by Eban Register.	View them, but you cannot edit, deactivate, or delete them for your organization.
Custom	Holidays added by your organization, such as company-specific days.	Add, edit, activate, deactivate, or delete them.

Manage custom holidays

• Add New: Create a custom holiday for the year selected in the filter. Enter its name and date (month, day, and year), then choose whether it is active.

• Activate or Deactivate: Turn the holiday on or off. Inactive holidays display (Inactive) and are not applied.
• Delete: Permanently remove the holiday. Deletion cannot be undone.

How holidays affect other features

• Leave requests: Whether holidays count toward a leave request’s duration is configured for each leave type.
• Attendance pay: Holidays can have their own pay rate. Organization settings determines which rate applies when a day is both a holiday and a non-working day.
• Work schedules: Holidays appear in the work calendar. See Work schedules & calendar.
