Scheduling impact for Australia
Australia's public holidays vary by state and territory. States like Western Australia and Tasmania have unique holidays not observed elsewhere. The Australia Day and ANZAC Day long weekends create predictable absence spikes. State-specific holidays (Melbourne Cup Day in Victoria, Recreation Day in Tasmania) mean multi-state operations need location-specific scheduling.
