Scheduling impact for Netherlands
The Netherlands has relatively few public holidays, but they cluster heavily around spring. Kingโs Day, Easter Monday, Ascension Day, and Whit Monday can compress several shorter weeks into one planning window, which tends to hit Monday and Thursday coverage hardest.
