A weekday or <b>workday</b> is any day of the working week. Other institutions often follow this pattern, such as places of <a href="/wiki/Education" title="Education">education</a>. The constituted weekend has varying definitions, based on determined calendar days, designated period of time, and/or regional definition of the working week (e.g., commencing after 5:00 p.m. on Friday and lasting until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday). Sometimes the term "weekend" is expanded to include the time after work hours on the last workday of the week. Weekdays and workdays can be further detailed in terms of <i><a href="/wiki/Working_time" title="Working time">working time</a></i>, the period of time that an individual spends at paid occupational labor. </p><p>In many Christian traditions, Sunday is the "<a href="/wiki/Lord%27s_Day" title="Lord's Day">day of rest and worship</a>".

Some Muslim-majority countries historically instituted a Thursday–Friday weekend.

As a result, it is rare that a public holiday would naturally create a <a href="/wiki/Long_weekend" title="Long weekend">long weekend</a>. As a result, around the time of public holidays, the government often shifts weekend rest days into weekdays to create longer continuous periods of rest. Swapped weekends are common between the actual holiday and the weekend, so three-day or seven-day holiday periods are created. The nearby Saturday or Sunday may be changed to a normal working day. For example, if the actual holiday falls on a Tuesday, the Monday may be swapped as a holiday, and citizens are required to work on the previous Saturday instead, creating a three-day long weekend (Sunday to Tuesday) but a six-day work week (Monday to Saturday) in the previous week. The weekend-shifting arrangements are <i>ad hoc</i> from year to year and are announced by the government towards the end of each year for the next year. </p><p>A number of provinces and municipalities across China, including Hebei, Jiangxi and Chongqing, have issued new policies, calling on companies to create 2.5-day weekends.
