Holidays and Workdays Management

Managing Holidays and Business Days


Flokzu lets you define your organization’s non-business days so they are excluded from the calculation of due dates for timers and user tasks.


To access this feature, go to Configuration AdvancedHolidays and workdays management, where you can configure these three categories:


  • Workdays: Specify which days of the week are business days for your organization. Check the corresponding boxes and click Save configuration.
  • Fixed Holidays: Non-business days that recur on the same date every year (for example: January 1, December 25). These are configured by specifying only the day and month.
  • Variable holidays: Non-working days that apply to a specific year or are floating dates. These are configured by specifying the day, month, and year.


Adding and editing holidays


To add a holiday, click the “+” button, select the date in the pop-up window, and confirm by clicking Add Holiday.
To edit an existing holiday, click on it and select the new date or disable it. Variable holidays can only be edited up until the day before their date.


A fixed holiday and a variable holiday cannot have the same date.



How does this setting affect processes?


This setting takes effect only when the Business days option is selected in:


When using this setting, non-business days are excluded from the calculation of due dates.


IMPORTANT: The due date is calculated at the moment an instance reaches the task or timer. Changes to this setting only affect instances that have not yet reached that stage.


Practical Example


An organization that operates Monday through Friday, with the following holidays (dates in mm/dd/yyyy format):


  • Variable holiday: 10/07/2026 (Wednesday), 10/12/2026 (Monday)
  • Fixed holiday: 10/14


Task created on 10/06/2026


Configured Due Date

Resulting Date

1 business day

10/08/2026 - Thursday

2 business days

10/09/2026 - Friday

7 business days

10/20/2026 - Tuesday


The hours, days, months, and years options do not take this setting into account and calculate the due date in calendar days.



Audit


Clicking on any holiday displays the edit history: creation date, changes made, and the user responsible for each change.





Access via JavaScript API


From the Flokzu JavaScript library, you can query holidays using:

  • Flokzu.getHolidays() — returns all enabled holidays.
  • Flokzu.isHoliday(date) — returns true if the date is an enabled holiday, false otherwise.



Holiday and Business Day Management is enabled for the Standard and Premium plans
