You just add them like any other calendar event.

Do you mean public holidays or annual leave?
If it is public holidays go to admin - under calendar is an
option 'Calendar Holiday Management', just add the holidays as needed

If it is annual leave just add it to the person's calendar.

That's how it works for me.

Sorry never tried it, but I think it is working as it should.
