Stop manually tracking which employees are off for which public holidays. TheDeskMonitor lets you define regional holiday groups, assign employees, and have public holidays appear automatically in attendance records, shift schedules, and payroll — no manual HR entry required.

Regional Holiday Groups
Create named holiday groups — for example, "US Federal Holidays" or "AU Public Holidays" — and add dates with narrations. Each group is reusable across your whole team.
Per-Employee Group Assignment
Assign each employee to the holiday group that matches their location. Employees in different regions automatically follow different public holiday calendars with no manual HR overhead.
Work-Block on Holiday Dates
Optionally mark specific dates as "no work allowed" — the system prevents employees from clocking in on that public holiday, enforcing the calendar automatically.
Automatic Calendar Integration
Public holidays appear automatically in the team calendar and attendance views. Managers see at a glance which days are non-working days for which employees across all regions.
Shift Schedule Awareness
Shift templates respect each employee's holiday group. Schedulers see which days are public holidays for their region, preventing accidental scheduling on non-working dates.
Payroll Holiday Exclusion
Public holiday dates in an employee's group are automatically excluded from payroll hour calculations. No manual payroll adjustments needed when the calendar matches the employee's location.
