Holidays and time zones

Two settings that quietly shape your booking page: which public holidays are blocked, and which time zone slots are computed in.

Holidays

Rather than adding a date override for every public holiday, you can pull in a country's holiday calendar and have 42min block those dates for you. Manage it from Availability → Holidays.

• Pick a country — 42min loads that country's public holidays.
• Each holiday can be enabled or disabled individually (keep the ones you actually take off; un-block the ones you work).
• Blocked holidays behave like an "unavailable" date override — the booking page skips them.

Time zones — who sees what

There are a few time zones in play; here's which is which:

• Your schedule's time zone — the hours you enter on a schedule are interpreted in this zone. If it's wrong, every slot is shifted.
• Your profile time zone — set on your profile. Used for things like dashboard times and as a sensible default.
• The invitee's time zone — the booking page detects it (or lets them pick) and shows every slot converted to it. You never have to think about the invitee's zone.

So: define your hours once, in your zone; everyone else sees the right local times automatically.

Common pitfalls

• Schedule time zone left at UTC. A brand-new schedule may default to UTC — set it to your actual zone or your slots will be hours off.
• Holidays for the wrong country. The holiday list is per the country you pick; choose the one that matches the days you take off, not where your invitees are.
• A holiday you actually work. The holiday calendar blocks every public holiday by default — disable the individual ones you don't observe.
