Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions people most often ask before relying on the page.

What can I do in the public holidays section?
This section groups country pages, tools and guides so you can move from overview to a concrete task quickly.
Are pages country-specific?
Yes. Category pages lead into country routes that keep the local holiday, payroll or VAT context visible.
How can I compare related countries?
Use the linked country pages and related-country modules to open nearby markets side by side.
What is the best way to use a category page?
Start with the overview, open the country you need, and then continue into the matching calculator or year page.
How is the public holidays section organised?
The public holidays section starts with a country list, then leads into year-specific or month-specific pages where the underlying data lives. From any country page you can jump into the matching calculator and back to the overview without losing the country selection.
Can I download data from the public holidays section?
Tabular data on each public holidays page can be copied into a spreadsheet, and most modern browsers can save the page as a PDF for offline use. Bulk export and API access for teams are on the roadmap and will be announced in the resources section when available.
How do I move from a public holidays page to a salary or VAT view?
Each country page in the public holidays section includes cross-links to the salary calculator and the VAT page for the same country. The cross-links keep the country selection so you never need to re-enter it when switching between topics.
What years are covered in the public holidays section?
Coverage spans the current year and several past and future years for most countries. Edge years sometimes show partial or estimated data when official sources have not yet published the full schedule, and the year selector flags any such cases on the relevant page.
Are the public holidays pages translated for every language WorkDaten supports?
The reading interface is translated into all supported European languages, and the underlying data is country-specific rather than language-specific. The country selection drives which national rules apply; the language selection only changes the reading experience.
Where can I report an issue with a public holidays page?
Use the contact link in the footer to report data errors, missing edge cases or translation issues. Updates that affect multiple country pages are usually rolled out within a week of being verified against the official source.
