How are holidays defined?

You can create one master holiday list for the entire organization or separate holiday lists for each shift. For example, you can create a separate list of holidays for the US which will only apply to the US shift employees. For every shift you can create one holiday list. 
Note: If you create the holiday list before creating shifts, it will be applied to all the shifts that you create.
To create a holiday list:
  1. Go to Setup > Company Details > Holidays.
  2. Click Create Holiday List on the Holiday Details page.
  3. Select the shifts from the Apply to Shift drop-down list.
  4. Note that this option will only appear if you have already created shifts.
  5. Choose the year from the drop-down list.
  6. Enter the Holiday Name and select the date from the calendar.
  7. Click the plus icon to add more holidays.
  8. Click Save.
