How to add optional holidays in the holiday calendar?

[Empxtrack user]

My company has 4 national holidays and 6 optional holidays for all employees. How can I add both types of holidays in the holiday calendar?

With Empxtrack, you can easily add optional/ restricted  and national holidays in the system. You can even create holidays that are applicable for half day. Follow the steps:

1. In the Search bar, type 'Holiday calendar' and select the 'manage holiday calendar' option.
   
2. Click Add holiday button and specify the details of the optional holiday that you want to set.
   
3. Select the checkbox labelled as “Check this box if holiday is restricted”. Do not select this checkbox when adding national holidays in the system.
   
4. Now specify the description, applicability and other rules to avail this holiday. Save the changes.
   

Once the national and optional/ restricted holidays are defined in the system, you would be able to see them in the list of holidays.

Remember that the optional holidays are marked with asterisk (*) symbol for employees’ reference.
