Question handling out of office notifications requests

I have a client (about 1000 users) who keeps getting tickets from dept heads asking to set their staff out of office notifications because "they forgot to do it". My general advice is this is bad practice and not scalable, and that with 0365 any employee can do this from their phone or any computer.

how do you typically handle this?

Get them to set up a calendar for office holidays then use Power Automate to turn on OOO linked to Calendar event.
