Location: Holidays are assigned based on the organization's physical locations, ensuring employees at different branches or offices observe the correct regional or country-specific holidays.

Custom Group: Holidays are assigned to specific employee groups based on criteria such as department, grade, or employment type, allowing for tailored holiday schedules within the organization.

To create a custom group and assign holidays, navigate to CoreHR → Employee Data Management → Custom Group and click on +Add New. Enter the Custom Group Name and set the Configure For option to Holiday. Define the applicable rules, such as Employee Type, e.g., Holidays apply only to Permanent Employees and click Save. The custom group created will appear as a dropdown option in the Holiday Module.
