Creating and Assigning Holiday Calendars

Last Updated: June 9, 2025

Overview:

Holiday Calendars is a feature in Omni that allows admins to create holiday calendars according to countries, or create their own. This is important as it affects leave deductions, and also comes in handy if you have employees from different countries. Let's learn how to create and assign holiday calendars in this article.

Creating Holiday Calendars:

• Go to Settings > Work Schedule > Holiday Calendar tab. If you already created some holiday calendars, you'll see them in this page.
  
  

• Click Add holiday calendar. You will be brought to a page where you'll click Add Holiday in the middle of the page, and choose to either "Create manually" or "Import holiday calendar".

• If you choose to "Create manually", you'll input each holiday one-by-one, specifying the name, date range, if it is full/half day, and if it is multiday.
  
  
  

  

  
  
  

• If you choose to "Import holiday calendar", a pop-up will appear, where you'll select the country, then click "Import".
  
  

• Wait a few seconds, then the holidays for that country for the year will be automatically loaded. You can delete some holidays as required by your organization by clicking the trash icon at the right side.

• You can also still add holidays by scrolling to the bottom and clicking "Add holiday".
  
  

• Once you are okay with the holidays, input the name in the field "Name of Holiday Calendar". Click Save.
  
  

• It will now appear in the list of Holiday Calendars you can assign.
  
  

Assigning Holiday Calendars:

• Go to an employee's profile > Time Off
  
  

• Scroll down to Holiday Calendar section > hover your mouse over the section >click Edit. A pop-up will appear.
  

• Click Add new record > input the effective date and holiday calendar to be assigned. Click Save.
  
  

• The assigned Holiday Calendar should now reflect in the employee's calendar. You'll distinguish the holidays as they have a red color in the calendar.
