OrchestraHCM Calendars Guide

🎯 Purpose
The Calendars guide explains, step by step, how to define your company's work calendars, official or custom holidays, and floating calendar days in the OrchestraHCM Time Management module.
What Is the Difference Between Fixed and Floating Holidays?
- Fixed holidays recur on the same date every year and their date never changes. (e.g. New Year's Day on January 1, or national holidays such as April 23 and October 29)
- Floating holidays do not have a fixed date and move to a different date each year. (e.g. religious holidays such as Ramadan Feast and Sacrifice Feast)
