How customers can manage public holidays in Remote

In this article, we explain how company admins can use Remote’s Public Holiday Management feature to customize public holidays for their workforce. You can add, rename, or remove holidays to align with internal policies, depending on your setup with Remote.

How to manage public holidays in your company settings

Step 1: Go to the public holidays section

To view the list of countries where your hired team members:

1. Navigate to Company settings → Time & Attendance.
2. Select Public holidays.

Note: If you use more than one Remote product, your team members will be grouped as Employees hired by your company (HRIS, PEO and Payroll products) and Employees hired by Remote (EOR products)

Step 2: Select the country you want to manage

You can now:

• View all national and regional holidays
• Rename holidays to match your company’s naming conventions
• Add custom company holidays (for example, a mental health day)
• Add regional holidays (for example, Catalunya Day)
• Delete holidays that are not statutory and your company doesn’t observe

How to add a new public holiday for your team

Step 1: Fill in the holiday details

• Choose whether to add the holiday to the national or regional list.
• Select the Add button.
• Complete the fields:
  • Name of the holiday
  • Date
  • Observed date (if different from the official date)
  • Duration (full day or half day)

Step 2: Review and save

1. After saving, your new holiday is saved as a draft.
2. You’ll be redirected to the list of holidays for that country.
3. You’ll see an Approval message, for example “1 national holiday is pending your review”.
4. Approve or discard the draft to complete the task.
5. Once approved, the holiday is added to affected team members’ time off calendars.
6. They’ll be notified automatically via in-app notification.
