Holiday restrictions

People Manager gives you the ability to set up periods of time where employees will not be able to book holiday. This can be 1 date (for example a company day that requires everyone to attend) Or a period of time (for example no holiday to the taken in December.) If an employee tries to book a holiday request for a restricted date, they will see a message advising that they cannot book this time. Admin users however will be able to submit holiday on behalf of an employee, even if the dates are restricted. 

From admin in the top menu bar, select holiday restrictions in the system section. You can then either use the search bar, highlight an existing holiday restriction or click new to create a new restriction.
