Deleting Holiday in Attendance

This guide explains how to remove non-gazetted public holidays so they will not appear in employees’ attendance records.

Please note that this process is only for deleting a holiday, not for editing an existing one.

Step 1

On the left menu, go to Settings (a) > General (b) > Holiday (c).

Step 2

Select the country where your company is operating.

Step 3

To remove only a specific public holiday:

1. Double-click the date of the public holiday (a) you want to delete.
2. Click the red Delete button (b).
   • This action will only delete that specific holiday and once deleted, it cannot be undone.

Do not click “Delete" button in three-dots button (⋯) at the top-right of the screen. That button will delete ALL holidays in calendar.

Confirm by selecting Yes, delete it. Once deleted, no public holiday will be assigned on that date.

Step 4

A confirmation message will appear. Click OK.

After completing the above steps, proceed to run the batch process in order for the new settings of holidays can be captured in the attendance. Refer: Resetting Attendance to Default Schedule Settings

Result:

The holiday banner will be removed from the Shift column, and replaced with the employee’s default shift based on their schedule.

Note: Once this change takes effect, it will also impact payroll calculations. Any overtime claims on this date will follow the normal rate (working day) instead of the public holiday rate, since the date is no longer treated as a holiday.
