Innovative Features of the Holiday List

Adding Holidays Manually
For a high level of customization, Empress allows you to manually add specific holidays. All you need to do is click on the ‘Add row’ option in the Holidays table.
Applying Holiday Lists in Different Contexts
At the Company Level
You can set a default holiday list at the company level. This can be done in the ‘Company’ master, under the ‘Default Holiday List’ field.
At the Employee Level
For organizations with multiple holiday lists, Empress enables you to assign a specific list to an individual employee. This ensures that when an employee applies for leave, the days listed in the holiday list are not counted as they are already marked as holidays.
Important Note: If a holiday list is assigned in an employee’s master record, it will override the company’s default holiday list.
At the Workstation Level
You can also assign a holiday list at the workstation level, marking the dates when the workstation will remain closed.
