- UK working days take off England and Wales bank holidays from the GOV.UK feed, including substitute days. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays.
- US working days take off federal holidays on the day they are observed under 5 U.S.C. 6103. States and employers can add their own holidays.
- GOV.UK: UK bank holidays (England and Wales)
- 5 U.S.C. 6103: US federal legal public holidays
