Transport, meals, and boarding need the same date. Otherwise finance and the gate disagree. Paid closures for contractors and staff are employment and vendor questions, not a software default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
