It is possible to add a time off to all employees at once. This bulk action is  particularly helpful for Public Holidays. 

Users of the Time and Attendance add-on can also automatically calculate the Public Holiday hours. More on that below.

🔴 If you have employees with multiple locations, please refer to the end of this article to know how to proceed

Essential Plan users can choose a specific time off length that will be applied uniformly to all employees. 

Time and Attendance add-on users can set a rule to automatically calculate the Public Holiday Pay hours based on worked hours. More on that here.

After a validation message. All your employees will be added with a time off on that day.

Note that the bulk action will only apply to employees matching your active filters (position, location, name, etc.) 

In order to create the time off only once per employee when they are assigned to multiple locations, you have to select the '' Employee with this main location'' filter.

Therefore, if you have 6 different locations, you need to create 6 time offs using the bulk action with the ''Employees with this main location'' filter selected.

If you do not select the filter, the time off will be created for all locations assigned to your employees which will result in multiple time offs for each employee with more than one location.
