There is also the option to duplicate holidays from one office to another and from year to the next.
For example rather than entering all entries one by one could copy the holidays from the previous year and amend the Public Holidays where the date is different from the previous year.
To copy the Holiday Calendar from the previous year select the From and To Year, From and To Office then hit confirm.
