Public & bank holiday lookup tool

Use our free public holiday lookup tool to prepare your business for the forthcoming (or next) year. Whilst for many staff, planning that summer getaway is most exciting, behind the scenes your business still needs to operate .

In the UK, whilst legally, you don't have to give public holidays as additional leave in staff contracts, as employers, you have the choice whether to include Bank Holidays in allowances, or offer them as extra days off.

Simplify Public Holiday Management with WhosOff

Managing public and bank holidays can be complex, especially when coordinating across various departments and regions. WhosOff streamlines this process by allowing administrators to import national public holidays directly into the system.

These dates are marked as 'Free Days' in the calendar, ensuring that when employees book time off encompassing a public holiday, the system automatically adjusts their leave allowance accordingly .

Staff holidays, do they need to be tracked?
Enhance Leave Planning and Compliance

WhosOff's integration of public holidays not only simplifies scheduling but also promotes compliance with employment contracts and labor laws. By clearly delineating public holidays within the calendar, employees are informed of non-working days, aiding in their personal leave planning.

Moreover, the system's ability to adjust leave balances automatically in relation to public holidays helps prevent discrepancies and ensures accurate record-keeping .
