How Workday Count works

Working-day calculations are useful for project schedules, service targets, leave planning and delivery estimates. Unlike a simple date difference, a workday count needs rules for weekends, public holidays and the organisation's actual working week.

The calculation or process

Workday Count steps through the selected date range and includes only days configured as working days. Where a holiday calendar is enabled, recognised public holidays are excluded as well.

Understanding the result

A workday result reflects the calendar assumptions chosen. A Monday-to-Friday office schedule is different from a retail or shift pattern, and regional public holidays may differ within the same country.

Worked example

A normal Monday-to-Friday week contains five working days. If a recognised public holiday falls on the Wednesday, the working-day count for that week becomes four, assuming the holiday is excluded.

Practical tips

  • Choose the actual working weekdays used by your team.
  • Check which public-holiday calendar applies to the location doing the work.
  • For contractual deadlines, confirm whether the start or end date is counted.

Frequently asked questions

Are weekends always excluded?

No. They are excluded only when they are not selected as working days.

Do public holidays always reduce the count?

Only when the relevant holiday calendar is enabled and the holiday falls on a selected working day.

Can this replace a contractual definition of business days?

No. Contracts can define business days differently, so use the wording in the applicable agreement.
