The Public Holiday by Work Location feature lets you assign different public holiday calendars to employees based on their country or state. This is especially useful for companies managing staff across multiple countries or regions — for example, employees in Malaysia and Singapore, or across different Malaysian states.
This guide walks you through setup and management in three parts:
- Part 1 – Assign a country or state to each employee
- Part 2 – Configure the public holidays for each country or state
- Part 3 – View public holidays from the employee's perspective

Note: If the Work Location field is not visible, check the employee's Access Level settings. Refer to the Access Level configuration guide for details. |
