Assigning Holiday Calendar

The Holidays module in HRStop allows admins to define and manage holiday calendars based on different employee groups. These calendars can be assigned to specific employees, departments, locations, or entities—making it easy to manage region-wise or team-specific holidays.

This article guides you through the steps to assign a holiday calendar to employees, regardless of their category.

Steps to Assign a Holiday Calendar

  1. Navigate to: Control Panel -> Holidays
  2. Choose the Holiday Calendar
    • Locate the calendar you want to assign.
    • Click on the Edit button under the Actions column.
  3. Scroll down to the "Calendar Assignment" section
  4. Select the applicable assignment filters based on your requirement:
    • Department: Choose the department(s) for which this calendar should apply.
    • Entity: Select the legal entity or business unit.
    • Location: Choose the relevant geographic location(s).
    • Employees: To assign the calendar to specific individuals, select their names from the employee list.
  5. Click "Save"
    • The calendar will now be assigned based on the selected filters.

Important Note:

  • Holiday assignments work on an OR basis.
    This means: If you select both Department and Entity, the holiday calendar will be assigned to all employees who belong to either the selected Department OR the selected Entity.

This flexible assignment logic helps ensure employees are mapped to the correct calendar even when working across multiple teams or locations.
