Holiday List is a list which contains the dates of holidays and weekly off. This helps our system to identify which day to consider into Payroll.

In ByondHR, we have included a default National Holidays List that is regularly updated for your convenience. You can configure multiple Holiday Lists by either using the standard holiday list or duplicating any existing Holiday Lists, and then assign them to your employees based on your requirements. To duplicate Holiday Lists, please refer to the this section.

For instance, if your company operates in the manufacturing industry and only grants days off to operational workers during public holidays, you can create a Holiday List that excludes weekends as days off.
