Editorial Policy

Independent operation and scope

DeadlineDays operates independently, with its calculators and publication pages selected, written, implemented, and reviewed without claiming a legal, employment, accounting, tax, financial, or other professional qualification. The approved operator disclosure above states the maintainer's location and independent operating model. The publication scope is practical date planning: showing assumptions, calculation order, source boundaries, examples, and known limits that a reader can inspect. It does not include deciding the reader's governing rule, accepting a client's facts, or issuing advice for a particular dispute. A calculator result or guide may support an internal check, but a binding deadline remains subject to the current official material, signed contract, organization policy, and responsible decision-maker that apply to the situation.

Source selection

The primary-source hierarchy begins with the current text or calendar published by the government, legislature, regulator, agency, or public body responsible for the stated rule. Where the topic is an operating schedule rather than a legal rule, the responsible provider's own notice or documentation is preferred. An official annual announcement may supply dates, while a current regulation supplies the rule and scope; the two are not treated as interchangeable. Secondary explanations can help locate or understand a primary source but do not replace it when the primary material is available. Every selected source must match the country, jurisdiction, year, institution, worker or transaction scope, and claim being made. If a source is inaccessible, incomplete, historic, or silent on a local exception, the page narrows the claim and states the limitation instead of filling the gap by inference.

• Holiday Data Sources & Review Dates

Correction intake, triage, change, and re-review

Correction intake uses the public contact address and should identify the affected URL, disputed statement or result, relevant inputs, and supporting source when available. Triage first separates calculation defects, outdated or mismatched sources, unclear wording, localization differences, and individual interpretation requests. The maintainer reproduces a calculation issue with the stated inputs or checks an editorial issue against the source hierarchy before changing public content. A confirmed defect receives a focused correction, related examples and locale versions are reviewed, and a regression fixture is added when code behavior was wrong. The changed page is then re-reviewed as a whole so a local edit does not contradict its table, limitation, source note, or paired language. Reports that require legal or professional interpretation may lead to a clearer limit or source link rather than a site-authored conclusion.

What published review dates mean

A published review date means the maintainer actually examined that page's substantive content on that date. It is not a claim that every external source will remain unchanged afterward, and it is not refreshed by a deployment, formatting edit, or routine build. The date changes when a factual rule, worked example, operating instruction, limitation, or source-dependent conclusion is re-reviewed or corrected. A source verification date is narrower: it records when the linked source material was checked and can differ from the page review date. Older dates are retained when no real re-review occurred. Readers should use both dates to judge whether a page needs a new official-source check for the date and decision in front of them.

Advertising and editorial decisions

Advertising is separated from editorial decision-making. The presence, absence, placement, buyer, or performance of an advertisement does not determine calculator rules, source selection, examples, review outcomes, correction decisions, rankings, or editorial conclusions. A page is not rewritten to favor an advertiser, and payment does not convert a source into authoritative evidence. Advertising also does not create an endorsement, client relationship, or professional recommendation. The maintainer does not publish invented qualifications, testimonials, usage figures, awards, partnerships, or review activity to make the publication appear more established. If commercial content is introduced, it must remain identifiable and must not interrupt the reader's ability to inspect assumptions, limitations, source status, or a result.

• Methodology
• SLA Deadline Limitations

Qualification limits and escalation

The maintainer's role is limited to building and explaining general scheduling tools and source-backed planning material. DeadlineDays does not verify a user's identity or facts, form a professional relationship, represent a party, or determine legal rights, tax treatment, payroll compliance, employment obligations, accounting treatment, or financial suitability. Worked examples are illustrations of stated assumptions rather than recommendations for a real transaction. Readers must use the current official publication when an agency or authority owns the date, the signed contract and policy owner when private terms control, and qualified professional advice when interpretation or consequences matter. If those sources conflict with a calculator, preserve the calculator assumptions and document the authoritative override; do not treat repeated calculation as a substitute for resolving the rule.
