State public holidays
States observe different days, so a single preset may miss local closures. Start with the preset, then add state holidays to avoid undercounting workdays between dates.
Easter and ANZAC Day
Easter shifts yearly and can add two non-working days near a weekend. ANZAC Day may land midweek or on a Monday, changing totals. Always pick the correct holiday year.
