[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) 20 business day month. (For the sake of the Accountants) If we had 25th of 28th off, in addition to Good Friday and Easter Monday, April would only have 19 workdays which would confuse the Bean Counters. Meanwhile, March is going to have 21 workdays. (Same with May and June) permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TimePencil@infosec.exchange 3 points 6 months ago @Salvo Naah. The bean counters already take the variations in the number of workdays into account. That's why, when one hears of economic figures, one often hears the expression "seasonally adjusted" at various points. (Variations in "work days" are one factor of "seasonal adjustment".) @Zagorath permalink fedilink source parent
