Holiday Calendar
The Holiday Calendar shows all holidays applicable to you for the current year, including national public holidays, optional holidays, and state-specific holidays based on your work location.
Accessing the Holiday Calendar
- Log in to your Omnivoo account.
- Click Holidays in the sidebar.
- The calendar loads with the current year's holidays.
Year Selector
Use the year dropdown at the top of the page to switch between years. The dropdown shows the current year and the next year (if the holiday list has been published).
Holiday Types
Each holiday is tagged with a type badge so you can quickly identify its category:
| Type | Badge | Description |
|---|---|---|
| National | Public Holiday | Gazetted public holidays observed across India (e.g., Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti). These are mandatory days off. |
| Optional | Optional | Holidays where the company offers a fixed number of optional holidays per year. You can choose which ones to take from the available list. |
| State-Specific | State | Holidays specific to your work state (e.g., Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Onam in Kerala, Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra). These are determined by your registered work location. |
The number of optional holidays you can avail in a year is set by your employer's policy. Check with your HR team or the leave policy for the exact count.
Holiday List View
Each holiday entry displays:
- Date -- The calendar date of the holiday
- Day of week -- Monday, Tuesday, etc.
- Holiday name -- The name of the holiday (e.g., Diwali, Holi, Eid)
- Type badge -- National, Optional, or State-specific
Holidays are listed in chronological order, with past holidays shown in a muted style and upcoming holidays highlighted.
Filtering Holidays
Use the filter buttons at the top of the holiday list to narrow down what you see:
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | All holidays for the year |
| National | Only national public holidays |
| Optional | Only optional holidays |
| State | Only state-specific holidays |
Holiday Count
A summary bar at the top of the page shows the total count of holidays by type:
- Total holidays for the year
- National holidays count
- Optional holidays count (and how many you can avail)
- State-specific holidays count
Plan your leave around long weekends by checking which holidays fall near weekends. Combining a day of leave with a holiday and a weekend can give you a 4-day break.
How Holidays Affect Payroll
- National and state-specific holidays -- If you work on these days, your company's overtime or compensatory off policy applies.
- Optional holidays -- These are treated as regular working days unless you apply for and are granted the optional holiday.
- Holidays and leave -- If a public holiday falls during your leave period, that day is not deducted from your leave balance.
Optional holidays must be requested through the Leave module before the holiday date. Simply not working on an optional holiday without prior approval may be marked as an unapproved absence.
State-Specific Holiday Assignment
Your state-specific holidays are determined by the work state recorded in your employment details. If your work location changes (e.g., you relocate to a different state), contact support@omnivoo.com to update your location so the correct state holidays are assigned.
