What does "3 business days" mean?
Three business days means three working days, skipping Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. It is just under one standard work week. The exact calendar date depends on which day of the week you start counting:
- From Monday → Thursday (same week)
- From Tuesday → Friday (same week)
- From Wednesday → Monday (skips the weekend)
- From Thursday → Tuesday (skips the weekend)
- From Friday → Wednesday (skips the weekend)
If a public holiday falls within those three days, the result shifts forward by one day for each holiday encountered.
