How the working week works in Switzerland
Switzerland has exactly one nationwide holiday set at the federal level: 1 August, the national day. Everything else is decided canton by canton, so Zurich, Geneva, and Ticino each run noticeably different calendars. Weekend holidays are generally not replaced.
