Adding Holidays to the List

Add individual holidays to your published list through the UI — perfect for one-off entries or quick fixes after a bulk import.

CoreHR → Employee Data Management → Holidays → Published Holidays

Before You Begin

Holiday list must exist

Create your Holiday List first — this article is about adding holidays to an existing list, not creating the list itself.

What You'll Achieve

Holiday added to calendar

A single holiday (single-day or multi-day) added to your Published Holidays list with location/group scope and holiday type assigned.

💡 Tip

For a single-day holiday, enter the same date for both Start and End. For a multi-day holiday (e.g. Eid or Diwali break), use different dates.

After you create the holiday list, you will need to add holidays to it. You can do it in two ways.

Adding Holidays through UI(One-by-One)

CoreHR → Employee Data Management → Holidays → Published Holidays

Click +Add New and select the Holiday List from the dropdown menu, which displays the holidays added in the Holiday List tab. Choose either Location or Custom Group based on the configuration. Then, select the Start Date and End Date—if the holiday spans multiple days, enter different start and end dates; if it is a single-day holiday, enter the same date for both. Finally, select the Holiday Type to complete the setup.
