HR Systems

Holiday calendars that regenerate themselves

The problem

What is actually going wrong

Indian holiday calendars are regional, partly lunar, and republished every year. Most HR systems store them as a static list that someone updates each December, which breaks for offices in different states.

Our approach

Generate the holiday calendar per office location from the festival engine, with regional rule packs where they differ.

Workflow

How the integration runs

  1. Configure

    Map each office to a location and, where relevant, a rule pack.

  2. Generate

    Pull the year’s festivals per office in a single bulk call.

  3. Review

    HR approves the generated list; the explain trace answers “why this date”.

  4. Publish

    Leave policy and payroll cut-offs consume the same calendar.

Integration

Endpoints and outcomes

Endpoints used

/v1/festivals/year/v1/calendar/year/v1/festivals/explain/v1/bulk/festivals

All of these are described in the OpenAPI 3.1 document, so you can generate a typed client rather than hand-writing request code.

What you get

  • One source of truth across offices in different states
  • No annual manual data entry
  • Auditable when an employee queries a holiday date

The Free plan covers 500 requests a day, which is more than enough to prototype the workflow above.
