Summary

Holidays in Payboy are defaulted to your country so for instance, a Vietnamese company will automatically follow Vietnamese calendar holidays.

However, the system is also flexible enough to allow companies to add their unique holidays, or remove certain holidays if need be.

A proper set-up of this will ensure an accurate and fuss-free calculation of payrolls at the end of the month.


Creating a new Holiday Group

  • From the left-side menu, head to Company > Holidays

  • At the top-right corner, click + New Holiday Group

  • Type in the Name of the holiday group

  • Click Submit to create the new group

  • Once the group is created, you can begin to set up the holidays applicable to the group. You can choose the option to Import Holidays or Add New Holidays. 

  • This functionality will be further explained in the sections below


IMPORTING holidays within an existing Holiday Group

  • On the left-side menu, head to Company > Holidays.

  • Click Import New Holiday

  • You will be directed to a page with dropdown lists for the Year and Country

  • Select the Year that you want the holiday calendar to be applied in

  • Select the Country from which you want holidays to be imported from

(Note: We have preset holiday calendars for certain countries in which some of our client companies work. Hence, if you can't find a calendar for your country, don't fret! Talk to our support team and we will help you.)


CREATING a holiday within an existing Holiday Group

  • On the left-side menu, head to Company > Holidays.

  • Click Add New Holiday

  • Fill in the corresponding name and date of the new holiday
    (Note: The system only allows you to set a single day, hence if you wish to apply for a range of dates, you have to repeat this step multiple times)

  •  Click Submit to create the new holiday


How to Edit or Delete an existing holiday

  • On the left-side menu, head to Company > Holidays.

  • You can click on the icons on each type of leave to Edit or Delete the respective holiday

  • Make the necessary changes as desired

  • Click SUBMIT  to save any changes made
