An Optional /Restricted Holiday is a non-working day offered to employees in a particular religious, cultural, demographic, or employment group to celebrate or commemorate a special day. 

These holidays are not mandatory, and employees can choose to take them.

A cap or limit is set on the number of optional holidays an employee can take within a specific timeframe.

To set the cap limit for holidays.
