• Production

Creates a bank holiday for your agency. These are the UK bank holiday dates. Recruso supplies them and refreshes them each year from the government’s list, and hours worked on one are expected to be paid at the bank holiday rate.

Names are not checked for uniqueness, so the same name can be used more than once.

Returns 201 with the created record.

You only ever see and change your own agency’s records; there is no owner id on the request, and an id belonging to another agency returns 404 rather than 403 so that its existence is never disclosed.

Access. Requires a client-credentials access token. Tokens issued through the interactive user login are rejected.
