How the calculation works
The tool adds five calendar days by default or a custom number of calendar days to the receipt date. It includes weekends and holidays because the selected method is expressly a calendar-day computation.
Philippine legal context
The deadline actually stated in the employer’s notice, applicable company rules, extensions granted, collective agreements, and the particular circumstances should also be considered. The output does not determine whether a dismissal is valid or invalid.
The calculated date is an estimate, not an automatic legal conclusion or individualized advice.
Practical example
If an NTE is received on a Monday and five calendar days are selected, the calculator adds five consecutive dates, including intervening weekends or holidays.
