Currently, holiday list assignments are not periodic. It's a single holiday list set as default for employees/companies. For backdated transactions that get processed later, this will cause problems. So this would be a feature request to maintain periodic holiday list assignments for every year/custom period like shift assignments.

Currently, one solution for this is to add your previous year's few months' holidays (months for which attendance is pending) to the new holiday list. So that the system identifies them as holidays.
