A holiday cannot be removed once it is added, and its name, date and office cannot be changed, so check it before you add it.
Tip
The list on Holidays and availability shows holidays from the start of this month to twelve months ahead. A holiday further ahead is saved, and appears in the list once it is within twelve months.
Tip
On an Optional holiday, each employee chooses whether to take it: they press Select holiday on the calendar, and Cancel choice to change their mind.
