Working calendars are linked to contracts and are used in day to day processing of work items to help determine precise due dates (for example when 'working hours' are involved, the precise working hours associated with the relevant calendar (e.g. 9am-5pm) are taken into account in the calculation. Similarly, non-working days are skipped when determining due dates.
