How to use this holiday calendar
A nationwide holiday applies across the country according to the source. A regional date belongs only to its listed subdivisions. Company closures and operating schedules can differ from a public calendar.
Review the year and local coverage before using the list. The business-day calculator excludes only the selected public scope plus your custom dates. It does not deduct a holiday twice when the same date is already excluded as a weekend.
The evergreen holiday URL requests the current year as it changes. A year-specific URL retains that chosen year. Source availability and changes in public policy can affect distant future schedules.
Read the working-day deadline guide and calendar days vs. business days for the counting conventions.
