Holidays feature allows creating a scheme of pre-defined holidays (both fixed and floating dates) that can be applied to particular users in Jira.
It helps automate the scheduling of the workloads and ensure the accuracy of the Workload scheme for each employee.
Default Holiday scheme is added automatically. It can be edited according to your needs but can't be removed.
