Can we add holidays of next year in the same ongoing holiday list ?

An organization decides on the holiday list at the end of the previous calendar year or at the beginning of the present one. You can upload the holiday list for the next calendar year too on keka. You need not create a new holiday list for every new calendar year. You can continue using the same Holiday list and add your holidays.

To add a holiday in the next calendar year in a holiday list, you can go to Time Attend (1) and select Shift/Weekly Offs & Holidays (2) and select Holidays (3). Here you will see the different holiday lists added. Select the Holiday list you want and click Add holiday (4). 

In the Pop-up, enter the Name and Description of the holiday. Then when you are selecting the Date, click the year and you can choose the year you want to add the holiday for. Select the next calendar year and then select the month and date. Once done check the box This is a Floater leave Holiday if it is a floater leave and Add.

You can also use the bulk import option to import the holidays. To bulk import, click the Import Holidays option available.

In the window click Excel Template to download the Excel Template.

In the template, enter the Name and Description of the Holiday and in the date, enter the date with the month and year of the leave. You can choose any year in the date. Once done save the file.

Now in the Keka page, click Upload Excel File to upload the file. 

Once the file is uploaded, you will be on the Match Columns page. Check the column mapping and click Data.

In the Preview Data page, if there are no errors click Complete and the holiday will be added to the holiday list.

Hope the process to upload the holidays for next calendar year in the same holiday list is now clear. Need more help? You can refer to the other articles available or Contact us!
