UK Working Days & Holidays · for monday
Keep dates on your boards off weekends, bank holidays and your company’s closure days. Set it up once, and automations do the rest.
The app knows the bank holidays for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (from GOV.UK) and for 24 other countries. It adds your own closure days, half days and working week. Then it:
An account admin opens the app’s settings from your installed apps in monday. The defaults suit most UK teams: England and Wales, Monday to Friday. Change the region, working week or closure days if you need to, then select Save changes.
On a board, open Automate, search for “working days” and pick one of the five automations below. Choose the date, timeline or numbers column it should use.
On a board, select + next to your views, choose Apps and add UK Working Days & Holidays. It lists upcoming holidays and has a calculator. Each board can show a different region.
Each one uses your account settings. Most also let you pick a region, or use the account default.
When a date lands on a weekend, bank holiday or closure day, it moves to the next working day. You can choose the previous working day instead.
Example A due date of Saturday 26 December 2026 becomes Tuesday 29 December 2026 in England and Wales.
When a timeline starts or ends on a day off, it moves the start and end onto working days.
Example A timeline of Saturday 26 to Thursday 31 December 2026 becomes Tuesday 29 to Thursday 31 December, because 28 December is a bank holiday.
Fills a date column with the date a set number of working days from today, in your account’s timezone.
Example When an item is created, set “Reply by” to 3 working days from today.
Reads one date column and writes the date a set number of working days later into another.
Example Set “Invoice due” to 20 working days after “Invoice sent”.
Writes the number of working days in a timeline into a numbers column, counting both the first and last day.
Example 1 to 31 December 2026 has 21 working days in England and Wales.
If an automation finds nothing to change, it leaves the column alone. On the Free plan, those runs don’t count towards your monthly limit.
On paid plans, turn on the tool in Sidekick → Tools. Then ask in plain English:
Sidekick answers with the count or the date and lists the holidays it skipped.
Settings apply to your whole monday account. Only account admins can change them. Everyone else sees them read-only.
Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Choose a plan from the app’s page in the monday apps marketplace.
On the Free plan, settings for paid features are kept but not used, so nothing is lost if you upgrade later.
