After you have set up holiday groups in Xero payroll, you can assign them to your employees. By doing this, any public holidays you add to the groups will automatically be assigned to those employees. In this tutorial, we will use Xero’s demo company to assign a holiday group to an employee.
This tutorial assumes you have already set up a holiday group. If you have not yet done so, please follow the steps in our Holiday Groups tutorial.
