calendar days

Calendar days are days counted by including every day in a period, including weekends and public holidays.

In plain English

This means the count runs through the period without skipping any dates. Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays are included in the total.

In context

Here, "calendar days" indicates that the timing rule counts every date in the period, not only working days.

Situation
Tracking obligations, deliverables, milestones, notices, and deadlines
What it communicates

Meaning limits

By itself, the term does not say when the period starts or ends.

Examples

“The report was due within 10 calendar days, so both weekends and the public holiday counted toward the deadline.”

Core meaning

“The notice set the waiting period at 30 calendar days rather than 30 working days.”
