How we count
A working day here is Monday to Friday, less public holidays. Tick Saturdays for a six-day week: Saturdays then count, unless one is a public holiday. Sundays never count. Both the first and the last date are included.
Public holidays come from the Public Holidays Act: when one falls on a Sunday, the Monday after it is a holiday too, and days the President declares, such as election days, are included. A holiday on a Saturday doesn’t move, so in a five-day week it takes no working day away.
