In TimeChimp you can set up public holidays in advance so employees do not need to create unnecessary registrations or accidentally register time on days they do not work.
First, make sure you create a public holiday task and link it to your organization’s internal project. If employees are automatically off on that day, there is no need to link this task to a leave or overtime balance.
To easily add public holidays for all employees, follow these steps:
Open this example file.
Check whether all required public holidays are included and whether they fall on a working day. Public holidays such as Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday always fall on a Sunday and therefore do not need to be imported.
Copy the block with public holidays as many times as the number of employees.
Add the names of the employees to the file.
Save the adjusted file as a CSV file and import it into TimeChimp.
Go to the gear icon in the top right → Import/Export → CSV/Excel → import hours. Select the public holidays CSV file and follow the steps.
Once this is completed, you can block registrations on public holidays. Go to the gear icon in the top right → choose Management and then Public holidays → click the three dots next to a public holiday → select Edit → choose Block registrations.
Done. You no longer need to worry about public holiday registrations for the rest of the year.
My employees do work on public holidays. How can I set this up?
For example, create two different public holiday tasks:
Public holiday not worked
Public holiday worked
If employees receive compensation hours when they work on a public holiday, indicate for the “Public holiday worked” task that it affects overtime and specify the percentage.
This allows employees to register their public holiday hours themselves, while overtime is automatically calculated when work is done on a public holiday.

Public holidays are not visible in the week view on the registration page. They are visible in the day view.
