SLA deadline calculation method

DeadlineDays interprets the selected start date and time in the chosen time zone, then counts the SLA duration according to the selected unit.

  1. Choose the start date, start time, and time zone.
  2. Choose the SLA duration and whether it is measured in business hours, business days, calendar hours, or calendar days.
  3. For business-hour mode, count only minutes inside the configured business hours.
  4. For business-day mode, convert each business day into the configured daily business-hours window.
  5. Skip selected non-working days.
  6. Skip public holidays and custom holidays when business-time mode is enabled.
  7. Calendar-hour and calendar-day modes add time directly and do not skip holidays or non-working days.
  8. If the start time is outside business hours, optionally move it to the next available business time.

FAQ

What is an SLA deadline?

An SLA deadline is the date and time by which a response, resolution, handoff, or other service commitment should be completed.

What is the difference between business hours and calendar hours?

Business hours count only configured working time. Calendar hours add time continuously without skipping nights, weekends, or holidays.

Does the calculator skip weekends?

In business-hour and business-day modes, it skips the days selected as non-working days.

Are public holidays excluded?

They are excluded in business-time modes when the option is enabled and holiday data can be loaded for the selected country.

What happens if the SLA starts outside business hours?

The calculator can move the start to the next available business time before counting the SLA duration.

Can I use a custom company holiday?

Yes. Add one custom holiday per line using YYYY-MM-DD and an optional holiday name.
