This is a question that may seem simple at first, but has more to it than it appears, especially that there are a number of things to consider when answering it. Generally, holidays are considered as non-working days. Hence, normally there is no need to file a leave on a day when you are not supposed to work.
However, there are still cases when an employee can file a leave on holidays. This depends on both the holiday type and one's expected schedule for the day. Holiday types are either of the three: Non-Working, Optional, or Mandatory Working Holiday. For further details concerning the differences between these three types, this article may be helpful: Holiday Settings. On the other hand, the expected schedule being referred to is whether you will follow your profile schedule or your approved schedule adjustment (if such a thing exists on your profile for that particular holiday). Below is a summary of whether an employee can file leave or not based on the 2 given criteria:
On the fields above marked with a check, it is requisite for an employee to file for a leave on those days. As can be seen above, an employee is required to file for a leave on a Mandatory Working Holiday, because as the name implies, it is mandatory to work on the said day despite a holiday -- hence, the need for a leave application.
On the other hand, on holidays where an employee has an approved Schedule Adjustment (SA), the system reflects that such days (even though they may be holidays) are required work days for an employee (given by the fact that there is a schedule set for him/her). Hence, there is a need to file for a leave.
