Holidays must still be approved by an admin. Unlike time off categories—where you can choose whether they're paid or unpaid—holidays are automatically treated as paid.

When an admin creates a holiday, they select the date and define which users it applies to, among other things. A holiday request is then automatically generated for those users and will appear under Time Off → Pending Requests. Only holidays created for that specific date will show up in the request list—no other holidays will appear unless they match that date.

Employees and managers cannot create or modify holidays themselves; they can only view the request status as pending, approved, or rejected. Approval or rejection must be handled by an admin.
