Admin | 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.  Click here for a refresher on Groups in Admin.
  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.
