There is one challenge here, how to deal with Statutory holidays? Statutory holidays are only to blue collar jobs or agreement of employment and it is called "Off-in-Lieu"; according to it, if holiday is already rest day(i.e: Sunday) then employer is committed to give off-in-lieu on following day. For example: if Buddha birthday is Sunday then Employer give Monday as holiday to employee.

I was thinking to make it like this:

        //Statutory  holiday if on rest day
                if (buddhaBirthday.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
                    items.Add(new PublicHoliday(buddhaBirthday.AddDays(1), "佛誕", "Buddha's Birthday (Off-in-Lieu)", countryCode));
                else
                    items.Add(new PublicHoliday(buddhaBirthday, "佛誕", "Buddha's Birthday", countryCode));

Just addition of "Off-in-Lieu"

Let me know you advise on it.
