However, you can make weekend days and public days count as work days by both starting and ending a plan on a weekend day or public holiday. Then, the number of working hours for all weekend days and public holidays that are covered by the plan is defined by the JIRA Time Tracking setting Number of working hours per day. If a plan starts on a weekend day or public holiday but does not end on a weekend day or public holiday, or the other way around, only normal work days contribute to the number of planned hours. |
