# Holiday Management

* * *

Effective holiday management is essential for any organization to maintain accurate attendance records, ensure compliance with regional holiday requirements. The Holiday Management section in Zoho Payroll empowers you to create and manage holidays across all your work locations.

**Scenario:** For an organization with offices across multiple provinces in Canada, managing holidays can be complex. For example, national holidays like Canada Day and Labour Day apply to everyone, while provincial holidays such as Family Day in Ontario and Louis Riel Day in Manitoba vary. With the Holiday Management feature, the HR team can easily add all relevant holidays to the calendar, ensuring that employees in each province receive the right days off.

The Holiday Management overview screen allows you to view and manage the holidays and provides an option to add new holidays, if required.
