How it works
WorkDaten counts working days by removing weekends and the selected country’s national holiday dataset from the calendar. The resulting monthly totals help translate a date list into actual delivery and staffing capacity.
Example use case
A payroll team can compare a short holiday-heavy month with a normal month before committing to approval windows, service-level targets or invoice due dates.
