Overview

The Public Holidays section in Cercli allows you set up country or region-specific holiday calendars and assign them to the relevant team members. This ensures each team member's time off accurately reflects the public holidays that apply to them.

Navigating to Public Holidays

In the left-hand navigation bar, click Time off.
Select Public holidays from the submenu.

Adding a New Calendar

Click the + Add calendar button in the top-right corner of the Public Holidays page. This opens the Add calendar module.
Choose one of the following two options:

Option	Description
Use existing calendar	Select a predefined public holiday calendar based on country or region. Cercli provides ready-made calendars for a range of countries.
Create custom calendar	Build your own calendar by naming it and adding custom holidays with specific dates. You can optionally base it on an existing country calendar.

Select the option that applies and click Continue.

Using an Existing Calendar

Select Use existing calendar and click Continue.
In the next step, use the Public holiday calendar dropdown to search for and select the country or region calendar you want to add.
Click Continue to proceed to the team member assignment step.

Creating a Custom Calendar

Select Create custom calendar and click Continue.
Fill in the following fields:

Field	Description
Calendar name	Enter a name for your custom calendar
Public holiday calendar	Optionally select an existing country calendar to use as a base for your custom one.
Holidays	Add individual holidays by entering a Holiday name and a Date for each one. Click + Add holiday to add more rows.

Once all holidays have been added, click Continue to proceed to the Team Member assignment step.

Assigning Team Members to a Calendar

After configuring the calendar (either existing or custom), the final step is to assign team members to it.

Click continue to confirm the assignment.
