Need to consider federal / official holidays in schedule

Open csharpfritz opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Perhaps there should be a 'facility schedule' that can have these dates applied.

Is there an API that we can use to load these directly into our database on a regular basis?

Here are some links that might be provide a usable api to get holidays Personally, at work we use the Google Calendar API

Please try to Internationalise (Internationalize) the names of the holidays when coding this. For instance, in the UK we have Bank Holidays. The same thing as Federal holidays, I think, just called differently. Also these are not mandatory holidays, you can work them employer-permitting, plus if this is a volunteer organisation then just because it's a 'holiday' doesn't necessarily mean that an event/class doesn't take place.
