Holidays

Each location keeps its own holiday calendar. ClockTap can load a country's national holidays automatically, and you can layer your own custom holidays on top — like a location anniversary, a local fiesta, or a one-off closure. Holidays feed into pay calculations, so keeping the calendar accurate keeps payroll accurate.

The calendar is configured per location, so it lives with the rest of a location's settings. Open Locations from the sidebar, open a location's ⋮ menu and choose Edit, then pick Holidays.

Turning holiday tracking on

Holiday tracking is off by default, so a location that works through holidays at the usual rate never has to think about it. To start tracking, switch Track holidays on in the header of Location settings → Holidays.

Holidays are a Pro feature. On the Free plan the switch stays off and the section shows an upgrade prompt. Switching tracking off later doesn't delete anything — the country calendar and your custom holidays are kept, and turning it back on restores them.

Adding a custom holiday

To add a holiday that isn't part of the national calendar:

1. Select the location from the location picker, then open Holidays.
2. Click Add Holiday.
3. Pick the date. Use the year arrows at the top to move between years.
4. Give the holiday a name (for example, Location Anniversary).
5. Choose the holiday type — this controls how the day is paid.
6. Click Add Holiday to save. It appears on the calendar straight away with a Custom marker.

Holiday types

The holiday type tells the payroll calculation how to treat hours worked on that day:

• Regular Holiday — the highest premium; used for national regular holidays.
• Special Non-Working Holiday — a premium applies to hours worked, but the day is otherwise non-working.
• Special Working Holiday — a normal working day with no premium.

Country calendar

Choose a country calendar to load that country's national holidays automatically for the selected year. Country holidays are marked separately from your custom ones, so you can always tell what came from the calendar and what you added.

Editing and hiding holidays

• Custom holidays can be edited or deleted at any time.
• Country holidays can be edited for a single location (for example, to rename one or move its observed date) or hidden when your location stays open that day. Hidden and edited country holidays are tagged so the change is easy to spot — and easy to undo.

Holidays are configured per location, so a closure at one branch never affects another.
