How do acceptances and deadlines work on weekends and public holidays?
Friday, June 19, 2020 3:20 PM
- Saturdays and Sundays are not classified as working days, meaning that deadline countdowns do not apply on these days.
- As bank holidays vary from country to country, we cannot ensure that they are all counted as public holidays, which is why bank holidays are counted as regular working days.
