Import public holidays to the calendar

You can import public holidays into your Sage HR calendar to save time when adding multiple dates.

Written by Oliver Cook

Sage HR doesn’t add public holidays for you, so you’ll need to add them to the right public holiday groups each year.

We recommend importing public holidays before the new calendar year starts.

📌TIP: You can add public holidays manually, too.

  1. Select your name in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. Select Calendar, then Public holidays.

  4. Select Import.

  5. Select the country you want to import holidays for.

  6. Under Public holiday groups, select the relevant group.

  7. Select Import.

  8. Choose how Sage HR handles duplicate entries.

  9. Refresh the page after a few moments.

The imported public holidays now appear in your calendar.

Repeat these steps for each public holiday group you use.

Important notes

  • Sage HR doesn’t add public holidays automatically

  • You add public holidays every calendar year

  • Time off behaviour depends on your policy setup

If your time off policy uses calendar settings, the policy controls how public holidays affect balances.


If it uses a working pattern, the public holiday settings control this.
