How do I select the public holiday calendar for my country?

In Time off settings, use the Public holidays field to choose the built-in calendar for your country. This calendar automatically applies the public holidays for the selected country.

Important: Only create a custom public holiday calendar if none of the built-in calendars under Public holidays fit your company's needs. If a built-in calendar is almost right and you only need to add a few extra company-specific days off, add them as Company holidays instead.

Only Owners and Admins can change this setting.
