Holiday layer handling

Holiday layer	Current handling	Evidence boundary
National	Included	National rows are usable only within the displayed resolution status and selected scope.
Regional	Limited or not selected	Regional rows require a matching subdivision and independently verified regional coverage.
Observed / substitute	Source-defined	Observed or substitute treatment is used only when it is present in the returned or bundled source evidence.
Organization-specific	Manual input required	Employer, bank, school, carrier, and company closures are not inferred from public-holiday data.

Separate the data delivery status from the official-source comparison and from holiday layers that still require regional or organization review.

How the holiday calendar works

DeadlineDays loads public holiday data for the selected country and year, then organizes it for workday planning.

Choose a country and year.
Load public holiday data from the holiday API through the browser.
Sort holidays by date and group them by month.
Show weekday, local name, English name, and holiday type when available.
Show whether each holiday falls on a selected non-working day.
Link to business day calculators for deadline planning around each holiday.

How to interpret the holiday list

A national API list is a starting point; the relevant government, bank, school, market, employer, or contract calendar can have a narrower rule.

Country and year identify the requested dataset, while regional coverage controls whether available subdivision events are included.
Holiday type labels help distinguish nationwide closures from regional, bank, school, optional, or observance entries when supplied.
The official-reference link and review date show where the site's coverage note was last checked.
Temporary closures and organization-specific shutdowns still require a separate source even when no API event appears.

Holiday-calendar review cases

The examples use the holiday list as a documented reference layer for contracts, launches, and support calendars without calling it an official schedule.
