Holiday Calendar
Regional holidays and company days off, factored into leave and counted down for everyone.
The problem
Holiday lists live in a PDF pinned to a wall. They differ by region, they change year to year, and leave systems rarely know about them — so people burn annual leave on days the office was closed anyway.
How we solve it
ASHR.work manages holidays as first-class data. Regional and company holidays are configured per year, surfaced to employees with countdowns, and factored into how leave is understood.
How it works
- 1
Configure the year
Set public, optional and company holidays for the relevant year and region.
- 2
Everyone can see them
Employees see upcoming holidays and countdowns without asking HR.
- 3
Leave-aware
Holidays inform leave so time off is understood in context.
Why it’s effective
No wasted leave
When holidays are known to the system, people don’t spend annual leave on closed days.
Clarity for all
A single, current holiday calendar replaces the stale wall PDF.

A few of the ways teams use Holiday Calendar.
Frequently asked
- Can I run different holiday lists per location?
- Yes — maintain region- or location-specific holiday calendars so each team sees the right public holidays.
- How do holidays affect leave?
- Leave calculations skip holidays that fall inside a requested range, so a public holiday never eats into someone’s balance.
