Managing Company Holidays

Company holidays are managed using Group calendars, typically by the Playbook Administrator.


  1. In Admin, Resources belong to a Department, and the Department belongs to a Group. Company holidays are managed using the Group's calendar which are then inherited by all resources in that Group.
  2. For Company holidays, Groups are typically defined by location, in this example, US, and UK. Notice there are 'duplicate' Departments, each belonging to a different Group.
