The Holidays tab is used to configure holidays to be automatically granted by the system. Holidays are granted as taken transactions during the routine nightly process. This function is bundled with account accruals, at least one accrual rule is needed for holidays to process. Holidays are not granted until the specified date of the holiday so holidays must be built in advance and will not display on the "Time Off Details" page or "Time Card" views until the day of the holiday would take place.

Holidays must be built for each year, the system will not automatically populate holidays for the following years. Most companies will build these out annually after finalizing their holiday calendar.
