  • Public Holiday means official non-working day.
  • Adjusted Working Day means a weekend date reassigned as a regular workday.

All dates are shown in China Standard Time (Asia/Shanghai).

Common Misconception

Adjusted working weekends are not overtime by default. They are official shifted workdays in the national holiday arrangement.

The practical point: if a weekend is marked as adjusted, you should treat it as a normal business day for staffing and delivery planning.
