You can add a public holiday to your calendar manually. Alternatively, you can import them into your calendar. This is useful if you need to add multiple public holidays.
📎NOTE: Public holidays aren't added to Sage HR automatically. You must add these to your relevant public holiday groups each year. We recommend you do this before that calendar year begins.
Click your name in the top right, then click Settings.
On the settings menu click Calendar, then click Public holidays.
Click Import.
Select the country you want to import public holidays for, e.g UK (England & Wales).
Under Public Holiday Groups, select a public holiday group e.g England and Wales.
Click Import.
Select how you want to deal with duplicate entries.
Keep the existing entries, do not overwrite them. Import only those dates that are not already added
Overwrite existing events with new ones
Wait a few moments and then refresh your page. The imported public holidays now shows.
Repeat steps 1-6 for any other Public Holiday Group if you have one.
📎NOTE: If your time off policy is based on calendar settings, the policy's settings deal with bank holidays affecting time off balances. If the policy is based on a working pattern, it is the settings within the public holiday itself that deal with bank holidays affecting time off balances.
