The program calculates everything correctly — the discrepancy between calendar days and working days is explained by the fact that holidays during the vacation period are not taken into account in the calculation, and part of the days in this period fall on weekends.
Let's break down the period from May 1 to May 12 by day:
- May 1 to 3 — holidays, they are not included in the vacation calculation.
- May 4 to 6 — working days.
- May 7 — weekend.
- May 8 — working day.
- May 9 to 11 — weekend days.
- May 12 — working day.
Thus, only working days and regular calendar days without taking holidays into account are included in the calculation of the entire period — hence the result of 9 calendar days and 5 working days. The program automatically excludes holiday dates from the count, so the final figures differ from what one might expect if simply counting all days in a row.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are holidays not included in the vacation compensation calculation?
Because holidays are not considered working days under the law and are not included in the vacation period — the program automatically excludes them from the calculation.
How can I manually verify the correctness of the day calculation?
Go through the calendar for the period and mark holidays, weekends, and working days separately — the sum of the working days will give the final number shown by the program.
