Understanding Your Results
| Concept | Standard HR Definition |
|---|---|
| Notice Days | Always calculated in Calendar Days, not working days. A 2-week notice is 14 days exactly, including weekends. |
| Weekend Exits | If your 14th day falls on a Sunday, your legal termination date is Sunday, but your final working Friday is your effective last day. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a 2-week notice include weekends?
Yes. Notice periods are typically calculated in calendar weeks, meaning a standard 2-week notice is exactly 14 calendar days from your resignation date.
What if my last day falls on a holiday?
Legally, your employment terminates on that day, but your functional last day in the office will be the preceding business day.
