Newfoundland and Labrador Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026
Calculate business days in Newfoundland and Labrador with its own statutory holidays. Newfoundland and Labrador shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Canada, but its statutory holiday calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the federal count.
How Newfoundland and Labrador differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Newfoundland and Labrador names just six paid public holidays in section 14(1) of the Labour Standards Act: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (the province's name for Canada Day, 1 July), Labour Day, Remembrance Day, and Christmas Day. It adds nothing to the federal set and does not treat Easter Monday, Victoria Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September), Thanksgiving, or Boxing Day as paid public holidays, so a Newfoundland count drops those five federal days. St. Patrick's Day, St. George's Day, Discovery Day, and Orangemen's Day are often listed for the province but are Shop Closing Act observances, not Labour Standards Act paid holidays, so they are named here and left out of the count. Under section 16, a public holiday that falls on a non-working day moves to the first working day after, which is why Remembrance Day, on Saturday 11 November in 2028, is observed on Monday 13 November. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Friday, October 9, 2026 using Newfoundland and Labrador's statutory holidays lands on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. With the federal Canadian holidays, the same calculation lands on Wednesday, October 14, 2026: the gap comes from Newfoundland and Labrador's own calendar.
