Add a manual holiday#
For: Manager | Admin You’ll need: At least one location.
You’ll add a holiday that isn’t part of the statutory list — a company-specific closure, a regional observance, or anything Shiftavo didn’t seed automatically.
Open the form#
Go to Company → Holidays in the left sidebar.
Click ‚Add new holiday‘ in the top-right.
Fill in the form#
Pick a ‚Date‘.
Enter a ‚Name‘.
In the ‚Locations‘ dropdown, pick the locations the holiday applies to.
(Optional) Override the ‚Multiplier‘ if pay for this holiday differs from the default.
(Optional) Tick ‚Half day‘ if the closure is only a half-day.
Click ‚Save‘.
The new row is tagged ‚Manual‘ so it isn’t overwritten by future auto-seeding.
Verify it worked#
The holiday appears at Company → Holidays with a ‚Manual‘ badge.
