Scheduled Holidays

In addition to public holidays, you can record scheduled holidays for each person so that Workable knows when they should not be scheduled.

Add scheduled holidays to a person

Go to Resources ➔ Scheduled Holidays and click the Edit button on the row of the person.

Add the dates when that person is unavailable in the popup:

1 date per row
Dates must be in the format yyyy-mm-dd e.g. 2026-11-23

Click Save when done.

Incorrectly formatted or invalid dates will not be saved.

Bulk import and update

If you need to add or update a larger set of scheduled holidays, import from a Comma-Separated Value (.csv) file.
