Identifying public holidays

Pro-tip: this is a good way to check that your public holiday settings are configured correctly.


Entering additional public holiday dates

Accounts with multiple locations and multiple public holiday regions can set location specific public holidays in the location settings (Workforce > Teams > Edit Location > Advanced Options):

If a location does not have a specific public holiday region set, the account-wide region will be used.
