Holidays are designated days that allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate events of cultural, religious, or national significance. In HRStop, the Holidays module provides a streamlined way for administrators to define, manage, and assign holiday calendars across the organization.
What is the Holidays Module?
The Holidays module in HRStop allows admins to:
- Create and manage holiday calendars tailored to specific departments, entities, or locations.
- Assign holiday calendars to employees based on department, location, or individual assignment.
- Maintain multiple holiday calendars to reflect regional differences, office-specific holidays, or global teams.
Once holidays are assigned through a calendar, they automatically reflect in the respective employee's:
- Calendar view
- Dashboard widgets
- Leave planning screens
Multiple Holiday Calendars
You can create multiple holiday calendars within the portal. This is particularly useful for organizations operating across:
- Multiple locations
- Different departments with unique leave structures
- Separate business units or legal entities
Each calendar can be uniquely named and described, allowing for easy identification and management.

Optional Holiday Management
HRStop also supports the concept of Optional or Restricted Holidays. These are holidays that employees can choose from based on their personal preferences, religious beliefs, or local customs—without enforcing them across the entire company.
This offers greater flexibility and cultural inclusiveness in managing time off.

Assigning Holiday Calendars
Once a holiday calendar is created, it must be assigned to the appropriate set of employees. Assignment can be done based on:
- Department
- Location
- Entity
- Specific Employees
This ensures the right holiday list appears for the right group of employees.
