Assign holidays to employees

In Timebutler, employees are assigned a holiday calendar, which determines the public holidays that apply to them.

Assign a holiday calendar when creating a user account

When you create a single user account, use the Holiday calendar option to select the holiday calendar you want.

Assign a holiday calendar during a bulk import

When you import multiple user accounts via Excel, you can choose from the holiday calendars that are preset in Timebutler.

The holiday calendars you have created for additional countries are not offered for selection in the Excel file. In that case, proceed as follows:

1. Set a default holiday calendar
In the default settings for new users, set the holiday calendar you want.

2. Select it in the Excel template
In the Excel file for the bulk import, select - Default holiday calendar - in the Holiday calendar column.

Change the holiday calendar for an existing user account

  1. Log in to Timebutler as an Admin.
  2. Go to Employees > Overview.
  3. Next to the employee, click the green pencil icon.
  4. In the Holiday calendar option, select the holiday calendar you want.

Change the holiday calendar for multiple existing user accounts

  1. Log in to Timebutler as an Admin.
  2. Go to Settings > More….
  3. On the page, click Holiday calendars (not Holidays).
  4. For the holiday calendar you want to assign, click Assign to users, then Assign to multiple users.
  5. Follow the instructions on the page to assign the holiday calendar to the employees you want.

Change holidays from a specific date

If an employee’s holidays change from a specific date, for example because of a location change, you can set this up using multiple periods for the working time model.

Default holiday calendar for new users

Also note the default settings for new users, where you can define which holiday calendar is preselected automatically when new user accounts are created. Especially if you use a non-standard holiday calendar as your default, you should set it here, so that the wrong holiday calendar is not accidentally selected when user accounts are created.
