You can use the Vacation Calendar to view and manage vacations in your company excluding public holidays (see below). Effectively, the Vacations page works both as a vacations report, and a set of individual user's calendars that can be edited by you if you have proper permission (Manage other people vacations). 

For managing public holidays, refer to Company schedule.

To manage your own vacations, you must have ‘Manage own vacations’ global permission enabled in your role.

To manage other people’s vacations, you must have ‘Manage other people’s vacations’ global permission enabled in your role.

Vacation management includes viewing your own and/or other people’s vacations, changing the start date of a vacation year, and adding/deleting vacations on the calendar.
