Frequently asked questions

What should I check?

Which days count as weekends?

Choose Saturday/Sunday, Sunday only, or Friday/Saturday. Public holidays are not automatically excluded.

Does this calculate official or contractual deadlines?

No holiday or organizational closure calendar is applied. Contract, SLA and legal deadline rules are not evaluated; check those rules separately.
