  1. Confirm the official start date and end date for your scenario.
  2. Select the counting rule that matches filing windows, notice periods, working vs. calendar days, and compliance risk.
  3. Run the calculator and review the breakdown.
  4. Save the result with the inputs and assumptions for reuse.

Examples

  • Example check: enter February 10, 2026 and May 22, 2026 into the calculator, then verify the total on a calendar view.
  • Example reminder: save the input dates February 10, 2026 and May 22, 2026 along with the rule set so others can replicate the result.
