Public holidays are common in every country and each country has its own specific public holidays. For example: Thanksgiving is a public holiday in the USA. In effect, a company needs to comply with the public holidays relevant to their particular country or they may face legal implications. Also, a company needs to configure their existing HR system to accommodate the public holidays relevant to their particular country. With OrangeHRM, a company can now easily add/remove holidays. It is possible to add both repeating and non-repeating holidays for that particular country.
