A clearer way to see holidays.
Official and widely observed dates, clearly labeled by status.
Holiday pages separate official public dates from observances so that a cultural date is not mistaken for a statutory day off.
Choose the correct country and year, then open a month for legal-status labels. Employment rules can vary by province, state, employer, and sector.
