Working days calculator (UAE): frequently asked questions
What is the weekend in the UAE?
Since 1 January 2022 the federal government weekend is Saturday and Sunday, with a half day on Friday. Many private companies follow it, but some keep a different weekend.
Are the start and end dates included?
Yes. Both dates are counted if they are working days.
Does it include UAE public holidays automatically?
No, because some Islamic holiday dates depend on moon sighting and are confirmed close to the date. Add the holidays you need as dates.
How do I count a notice period?
UAE notice periods are normally counted in calendar days. Use our date difference calculator for calendar days.
Can I use a Friday-only weekend?
Yes. Choose “Friday only” or any other option that matches your working week.
What format should holidays use?
YYYY-MM-DD, separated by commas or spaces.
