⚠️ Important: The system does not automatically update holidays every year, because:
Some holidays change dates yearly.
Not all companies follow the same public holidays.
You need to update your company’s holiday list each year.
Note: Some public holidays may already be included under the State Holidays function, depending on the state. Check the State Holidays list to avoid duplicates.
