Introduction

Holiday calendars contain the list of holidays to be assigned to employees. Different holiday calendars can be created depending on regions your employees work at because types of holidays may differ in different regions due to regional diversities. For example, an employee working in South region may be entitled to have different holidays than an employee working in North region. Hence, multiple calendars can be created and mapped to employees for whom they are applicable.
