Add Canada Federal Working Days

Adds or subtracts dates using Canada federal general holidays and a Saturday/Sunday baseline; schedule-dependent substitute days remain unresolved.

When to use

You need a deterministic baseline offset for a federally regulated-employer calendar in 2026-2027.

Do not use when: You need a provincial, private-employer or schedule-specific substitution result.

FAQ

Can this determine an employee's substitute day?

No. It returns a deterministic actual-holiday baseline and exposes the schedule-dependent limitation.
