How it counts

A working day is a Monday to Friday that is not a counted public holiday, or a Saturday or Sunday that a decree makes a working day in exchange for a bridge day off, as in Hungary. When a holiday falls on a weekend and a substitute weekday is observed, the substitute day is not a working day. Holidays observed only by some employers or sectors are not left out. Hours are the working days multiplied by 7.5 and by 8. The methodology explains every rule.

Ireland and the Canadian provinces covered here have no fixed substitute weekday. Irish law moves no public holiday, so a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday leaves the following Monday a working day.
Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec do not move a holiday that falls on a weekend either: Ontario gives a substitute day off arranged for each employee, British Columbia gives statutory holiday pay, Quebec gives an indemnity or a compensatory day off, and in Alberta an employee who does not normally work that day gets neither holiday pay nor a day off in lieu. For these provinces the calculator counts only the dates that the law fixes, such as Canada Day on 2 July when 1 July is a Sunday.
Under the Canada Labour Code (federal), a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday that is not a scheduled work day gives a day off on the work day immediately before or after it, and the calculator counts the work day after.
The calculator covers the years published on this site, 2026 to 2028; dates outside that range are refused rather than guessed.

Your dates never leave your browser: the calculator reads the published holiday data and does the counting on your device.
