Feiertage und Payroll-Planung

• Why holiday timing matters
• A simple planning routine

A holiday list becomes operationally important when it shortens an approval window, interrupts a payroll file handoff or compresses month-end work into fewer working days.

The biggest risk is not always the holiday itself. It is the combination of public holidays, annual leave and reduced staffing across the surrounding days.

Start with the current-year public holiday page, then compare monthly working days and add any internal approval buffers. That gives payroll teams a more realistic delivery timetable than using the calendar alone.

For countries with meaningful regional differences, treat the national calendar as the first check and the local holiday calendar as the second check before locking dates.
