Be nice if someone (Dutch) could organise this. There appear to be 3 categories of days, as described: public holidays with mandatory time off work; public holidays without mandatory time off work; and commonly marked days which are not public holidays. ...Although it's curious how something can be considered a public holiday if it doesn't involve some sort of legislated time off...
The table really needs extra columns to suit. I'd do it myself but I fear making the article less accurate.

It may be curious but that's how it is. It has to do with so-called Collective Labour Agreements (CAO) that regulate entire sectors (or smaller, possibly only one big company). Making something a public holiday puts pressure on CAO negotiations to include it as a mandatory holiday, but companies that do not fall under a CAO or CAOs that didn't include that particular day (like may 5th every five years) do not have a mandatory day off. However if you value your employees, you may, as an employer, of course still give a day off regardless.

I've updated the liberation day to accurately reflect when it is a public holiday. No idea on how to write this out nicer, so perhaps somebody can make it more clear. — Preceding

So the article starts with '13 days' but then lists 12 days... This article needs some cleaning up. For instance, Sinterklaas is not a public holiday. And to count the Sundays of Easter and Pentecost as holidays is also very interesting...
