How to use it
- Enter the date notice is given.
- Enter the length and choose calendar days, working days, weeks or months.
- For working days, list public holidays or other days off you want skipped.
How it works
Calendar days and weeks are added to the date given. Months use the same day of the month, clamped to the end of shorter months. Working days are counted one by one from the next day, skipping Saturdays, Sundays and the listed dates; the last day is the one on which the count reaches your number.
Worked example
Notice given on Tuesday, 3 November 2026:
- 30 calendar days end on Thursday, 3 December 2026.
- 10 working days end on Tuesday, 17 November 2026: 4, 5 and 6 November, then 9 to 13, then 16 and 17 November. The 14 calendar days include 4 weekend days. If 5 November is a listed day off, the last day moves to 18 November.
Tips
- Compare with your contract before planning a start date elsewhere.
- Use the working days option when weekends should not shorten your notice.
