How to Add a New Holiday Calendar for the Upcoming Year

Your holiday calendar will likely need an update before the start of the next year. Here's how to add a new calendar

It's important to make sure you have your Holiday Calendar up-to-date and ready before the turn of a New Year. Not having a calendar set up ahead of time can cause serious issues for employees, especially as it relates to payroll and taking time off.

When your calendar is missing the next year's holidays we'll show a message on the home page.

Below, we share step-by-step instructions on how to create next year's Holiday Calendar.

Step 1: Go to the holiday calendar

Holiday calendars are found in admin settings. Click the Time & Attendance tab and then find Holidays in the left menu options.

Find the holiday calendar that is missing holidays and click the Add 2025 holidays button.

On the next page you can pick which year's holidays to add

Add Holidays

When it comes to adding holidays, you have several options for selecting which holidays to add:

1. You can copy over all the holidays from the previous year (if you have a previous year's holidays already in Eddy)

2. you can copy common US or Canadian holidays

3 You can copy holidays from any other calendars you have created in Eddy

4. You can manually add holidays (using the Start from scratch button).

In the example below, we've chosen to add common US holidays. On this screen you can review the selected holidays.

If you need to make any edits, you can do that after clicking the Add holidays button.
