You can create holiday schedules for multiple regions that follow the same work
schedule but have different holidays.

## About this task

The following method supports multiple regions with the same work schedule (for
example, an 8-5 weekdays schedule) but with different holiday schedules.

## Procedure

1. Create a holiday schedule for each region. For example, U.S. Holidays, British Holidays, and Australian Holidays.
2. Add the work schedule as a child schedule to each region's holiday schedule.  
   This method requires making \<number of schedules\> + 1 total schedules. If
   you make the regional holiday schedule a child schedule of the work hours
   schedule, you must create a separate work hours schedule for each region.
   The total number of schedules in this case is \<number of schedules\> x two
   schedules.
