Different employees may have different working days and holidays, even if they are within the same department. 

For example, you may have one sales department, but the employees work in different countries with different holidays. In this case, you can assign employees of each country to a country-specific holiday calendar. 

An employee’s holiday calendar determines the public holidays they are entitled to enjoy.

Once you’re done setting your organization’s holidays, apply the holiday calendar to your work groups. All employees in each work group will each have their own holidays as per the set holiday calendar.
