Scheduling impact for Basel-Stadt
Switzerland's holiday landscape is uniquely complex: only 1 August (National Day) and New Year's Day are observed nationwide. Everything else varies by canton. Geneva has 9 public holidays; Zurich has fewer. For multi-canton operations, this creates significant scheduling complexity. Each location effectively needs its own holiday calendar.
