The job of this console
Keep location calendars true: add a public holiday, add a company shutdown, retire a date that was wrong. Legal calendars and working-week rules still live under Leave admin; this is the holiday list those engines read.

Seat at the table
HR administrators. Employees see holidays on leave and timesheet UIs; they do not edit the list.
The working rhythm
Pick a location, add or edit a date, save, then preview a leave request that spans it. Import via legal calendars when the org uses operator-assisted import.
Moments that bring you here
Diwali / Thanksgiving week. A new location. A gazetted holiday announced late. After leave counts looked a day high.
ⓘ
Holidays feed leave and attendance
