How SquadBear uses this calendar
- Create a holiday calendar for France (Admin → Holidays) — the preset prefills 2026 and 2027.
- Set the organisation default country, or override per employee for multi-country teams.
- Policies with “exclude holidays” skip these dates in leave day-counts; timesheets drop expected hours automatically.

Questions, answered
What public holidays does SquadBear include for France?
The prepared preset lists nationwide public holidays for 2026 and 2027 (2026: 11, 2027: 11 days). You can add company or regional days on top in Admin → Holidays.
How do French public holidays affect leave day counts?
When a leave policy excludes public holidays, SquadBear skips dates on the employee’s resolved holiday calendar. Part-time and non-working weekdays are also respected via each person’s work schedule.
Can we mix France with other countries in one workspace?
Yes. Each employee resolves to one country calendar (their override, or the organisation default). A developer in France and a colleague in another covered country can share the same policies with different holiday exclusions.
