Scheduling impact for Saxony
Germany's public holidays vary significantly by state, from 9 in Bremen and Hamburg to 13 in Bavaria. The extra holidays in southern states (Epiphany, Corpus Christi, Assumption Day, All Saints' Day) are spread across the year, meaning Bavarian teams need different staffing templates than teams in Berlin or Hamburg. For multi-location operations, the regional holiday delta is a real planning challenge.
