Public Holidays

Automatic public holiday management by country and region.

How public holidays work

Offly automatically imports public holidays for your country. These holidays:

  • Appear on the wallchart as background shading
  • Are excluded from leave deductions (a week off including a bank holiday = 4 days deducted)
  • Are visible to all team members

Regional holidays

Some countries have regional holidays. Offly supports region-specific calendars — select your region during setup or in Settings.

Custom holidays

Click Add Holiday to create organisation-specific days off that aren't official public holidays. These work the same way — excluded from deductions and shown on the wallchart.
