Public Holidays should be used when your employees have the day off, since the specific day will be set as by default, unless something else is set for a given employee.
As seen above, you can add public holidays by pressing the button, requiring you to fill in the Date of the holiday, as well as the Name of it. By pressing the button you are able to retrieve future public holidays, requiring you only to provide the system with at least a From year date, while the To date is entirely optional. You can also edit or delete the existing ones by pressing thebutton to the left of each holiday.
