Public holidays

Your absence calendar in WX displays the public holidays your administrator has defined for your country.

If you are a manager or a group administrator, you can view your team members' or group members' public holidays in the team absence calendar.

If you need to find out which days are public holidays for colleagues based in other countries, contact your HR team for the most accurate and trustworthy information about which public holidays your organization observes in that country.

Information about public holidays in different countries is also available online, but it is always a good idea to check how the information you find online applies to your organization. Examples of online resources include:

  • timeanddate.com provides a listing of public holidays in countries around the world
