DAYS AND HOLIDAYS Clause Samples
The "Days and Holidays" clause defines how days are counted and which days are considered holidays for the purposes of the contract. Typically, it clarifies whether references to days mean calendar days or business days, and it lists or references recognized public holidays that may affect deadlines or obligations. This ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of timeframes, preventing confusion or disputes about when actions must be taken or deadlines fall, especially if a due date lands on a holiday or weekend.
DAYS AND HOLIDAYS a) The Musician shall have not less than 96 Free Days per Annum, plus extra days equal in number to the Public Holidays declared by the Government for the Year. The allocation of all Free Days must fall within the following limits:
