Holidays

The Holidays section in Flowtly provides a comprehensive overview and management hub for all types of leave related to public holidays, company-specific holidays, and employee annual leave entitlements. This area allows you to configure holiday settings, view company-wide holiday schedules, and manage individual employee holiday requests and balances. It serves as the central point for understanding and administering time off related to holidays within your organization.

Example use cases

  • Reviewing the current year's official company-wide holiday schedule and bank holidays.
  • Checking an employee's remaining holiday allowance or entitlement for the current leave year.
  • Understanding the workflow for employees to submit holiday requests and for managers to approve them.
  • Setting up or adjusting general holiday policies that apply to different employee groups or locations.
