Marking Holidays as Special for Enhanced Overtime Pay

Keka now lets you mark certain holidays as Special, allowing you to define unique overtime pay rates for work done on these days.
 

This feature works alongside standard holiday overtime settings, giving organizations greater flexibility and ensuring payroll reflects enhanced compensation.
