Public holidays let you easily set up time off based on each person's working location.
All admins and editors can add, edit and delete public holidays and holiday groups.
Setting up Public Holiday Groups
You'll first need to set up Holiday Groups for each region you have people in.
Head to Settings > Public Holidays
Click New Holiday Group
Select a country. You can also optionally select a region. Give the holiday group a name.
A list of all the public holidays for that country or region will appear. De-select the ones that you do not want to include.
(Optional) If a specific holiday you want to add is not listed, you can add them under Custom Holidays
Click Create
Adding Location Tags to People (for global teams)
If you have a global team with different public holidays, adding a location tag to the team members will help you quickly filter the people when adding them to Holiday Groups.
Check out this article to learn how to bulk edit tags.

Click Add Selected
