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

1. Open the App Center.
2. From the App Center's left sidebar, click Scheduling & Dates.

4. Click the toggle to activate the Skip Non-Working Days ClickApp.

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.

Recurring tasks may recur on non-working days.

Skip Personal Time Off days

When the Skip Non-Working Days ClickApp is enabled, a task assignee's Personal Time Off is also treated as non-working time. When you schedule by duration, the assignee's time off days are skipped along with weekends and holidays. Due dates are pushed back accordingly.

For example, a task assigned to a teammate starts Friday with a 5-day duration. If they have time off the following Monday and Tuesday, those days are skipped along with the weekend, so the due date lands later than it would otherwise.

When scheduled dates overlap someone's time off, ClickUp shows a warning about the overlap.

For tasks with multiple assignees, a day is only treated as non-working when every assignee has time off that day. If just one assignee is off, the day still counts toward the duration.

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:
