When you're scheduling tasks, ClickUp can skip non-working days.
When you're planning a new project or updating tasks as their dates change, ClickUp will automatically schedule your tasks to start and end on working days.
ClickUp will skip non-working days when you're scheduling tasks with durations, rescheduling dependencies, remapping subtask dates, or using Automations to schedule tasks.
If you always want to include non-working days in durations and when rescheduling, you can deactivate this ClickApp.
Feature availability and limits vary by plan and user role. Learn more

Skip non-working days when scheduling tasks
When you're scheduling tasks by duration, non-working days are automatically skipped.
For example, your Workspace's non-working days might be Saturday and Sunday.
If you have a task with a start date of September 18th, 2025 and a duration of 10 days, the due date will automatically be set to October 1st, 2025.
If you want to include non-working days, click the toggle at the bottom of the date selector off.
Schedule tasks with elapsed durations
When the Skip Non-Working Days ClickApp is activated, durations can be set to elapsed on individual tasks.
For example, a task is set with a start date of September 22nd, 2025 and an elapsed duration of 10 days. The Skip non-working days toggle is automatically deactivated and the due date will be set to October 1st, 2025.
Convert durations using the Skip non-working days toggle
When scheduling tasks, the Skip non-working days toggle will automatically switch the duration from elapsed to non-elapsed.
When you convert an elapsed duration, non-working days are subtracted from the elapsed duration.
For example, the following table describes changing a task with an elapsed duration by clicking the Skip non-working days toggle:
Task | Start Date | Duration | Due Date |
Task A with an elapsed duration | Monday, September 22nd, 2025 | 10 days (elapsed) | Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 |
Task A with Skip non-working days enabled | Monday, September 22nd, 2025 | 8 days | Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 |
