How do I add a Public Holiday?

Public Holidays must be added to Humanforce each year to ensure employees are paid correctly.

Public Holidays can be configured under three classifications: global, regional and location based.

• Global: Public holidays are applicable to all region(s) and all location(s) e.g. Christmas
• Regional: Public holidays applicable to all location(s) that fall within that region e.g. Melbourne Cup
