ERPNext HR & Payroll
What is Holiday List?
- Holiday List
- A Holiday List in ERPNext defines the public holidays and weekly off days for a company, branch, or department, used in attendance and leave calculations.
Creating a Holiday List
Go to HR → Holiday List → New. Enter the name (e.g., India National Holidays FY2025) and add individual holiday rows with date and description. Click "Add Weekly Holidays" to bulk-add Saturdays and Sundays. Assign the list to the Company or individual employees.
Holiday List and Payroll
ERPNext does not deduct salary for days marked as holidays. The holiday list also affects the leave balance calculation — leave applications on holidays do not consume leave days. Different branches with different off days can have separate holiday lists.
