You can create unlimited Holiday plans to reflect the holidays and observances. Each non-working day resulting form the holiday plan reduces the capacity (daily capacity to zero) of the assigned resource or the Team.
Similarly, like with Workload plans users can be assigned to those plans using the Resource Manager (Administration > Resources > Individuals).

The App can calculate tasks automatically based on the assignee's working days. Jira admins can enable this feature in the BigPicture configuration. |
The holidays can be grouped into a set, such as European Holidays. If the organization also has offices in the United States, a holiday set can be created for that region as well. This expedites the planning process as information is easily accessed across the organisation.
