Notice periods

[malvolio]

And, more to the point,(a) it means damn all in reality, the client can send you home without pay at any time for any one of a dozen reasons and (b) it is a medium strenth IR35 pointer (in the absence of anything else the other way) since it is a pointer to Mutuality.

Notice periods are for permies, not contractors. Learn to live without them.

It means four weeks, or 28 calendar days.

I appreciate this is probably obvious, but anyway...

If you have a contract with a four week notice period, is it common practice for that to mean simply counting forward four weeks on the calendar to get the end date, regardless of things like, for example, Christmas, that might be in this period and would reduce the actual remaining time left to work on site to three weeks?

Is there actual difference between "four weeks" and "four working weeks"?

Cheers.
