For an admin: the rules and allowances

Your holiday year, whose bank holidays, and which requests approve themselves are chosen on Company settings. Holidays stay closed to everyone until they're chosen.

Set each person's allowance on Team holidays with Set allowance: a full year's allowance including bank holidays, anything carried over, and their start or leaving date if it falls in this holiday year. With a date in, the allowance is worked out pro rata and rounded up to the next half day.
