working days
Non-weekend business time
Working days are the days of the week when most businesses operate and employees are expected to work, typically Monday through Friday in Western countries.
The term excludes weekends and public holidays.
In legal and business contexts, working days often determine deadlines: Payment is due within five working days.
The phrase is synonymous with business days, though working days sometimes emphasizes labor while business days emphasizes commerce.
