By default, this excludes Saturdays, which have the status of working days only. Business days are <strong>days that are usually worked<\/strong>, while working days are days on which it is legally possible to work, depending on how the company is organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as mentioned above, some companies are open from Tuesday to Saturday, <strong>to meet service requirements<\/strong>. In this case, Saturday becomes a business day. This is decided by the collective bargaining agreement, or at company level via a company agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What impact does this have on vacation calculation ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-intranet.com\/en\/days-worked-vs-working-days\/\">managing vacations in working days and in business days<\/a>. When calculated in business days, <strong>the employee receives 25 days<\/strong>, and if Saturday is not a business day, it is not deducted, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-intranet.com\/en\/week-holidays-5-or-6-days\/\">one week represents 5 days&#8217; leave deducted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, when calculated in working days, <strong>the employee has 30 days<\/strong>, and Saturdays are deducted up to a limit of 5 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To simplify management, you can use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-intranet.com\/en\/help\/modules\/leave-management-software\/\">My Intranet HRIS solution for leave tracking<\/a>, which automatically calculates each absence request. Our HRIS has the flexibility to manage absences in working days, business days or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-intranet.com\/en\/calendar-day\/\">calendar days<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, in most sectors, Saturday is not a business day.
