How SquadBear uses this calendar
- Create a holiday calendar for Portugal (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 Portugal?
The prepared preset lists nationwide public holidays for 2026 and 2027 (2026: 13, 2027: 13 days). You can add company or regional days on top in Admin → Holidays.
How do Portuguese 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 Portugal with other countries in one workspace?
Yes. Each employee resolves to one country calendar (their override, or the organisation default). A developer in Portugal and a colleague in another covered country can share the same policies with different holiday exclusions.
