**Do not use when:** Federal layer only. Cantonal public holidays, municipal holidays, employer, collective-agreement, school, bank and exchange schedules are not inferred; Swiss law permits cantons to recognize additional holidays.

## Example user requests

## Limitations

Federal layer only. Cantonal public holidays, municipal holidays, employer, collective-agreement, school, bank and exchange schedules are not inferred; Swiss law permits cantons to recognize additional holidays. Apply the pinned authority event table over the declared weekday baseline; do not infer uncovered employer or regional schedules. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Does this package include Swiss cantonal holidays?**

No. The Swiss Confederation identifies 1 August as the only federal public holiday; cantonal holidays vary and require a canton-specific package.
