The 8-week rule for linked sickness
According to GOV.UK, two periods of sickness, each lasting at least one full working day, are linked for Statutory Sick Pay if they are 8 weeks or less apart, and SSP is paid for up to 28 weeks in total. If a sickness absence ends today, a new one starting by Monday 23 November 2026 counts as linked, so SSP carries on from where it stopped.
If you meant 56 working days
56 working days from today is Tuesday 15 December 2026 in England and Wales and Friday 18 December 2026 in the US, counting from tomorrow and skipping weekends and public holidays. Use this when a notice period or a delivery promise is given in working days.
8 weeks before today
8 weeks before today was Monday 3 August 2026. Count back this way to check when a 8-week period that ends today began.
How the count works
The date is today plus 56 calendar days (8 × 7), so it falls on the same weekday as today, a Monday. Working days run from today to the day before 23 Nov 2026, Monday to Friday, less bank or federal holidays.
8 weeks from other start dates
Starting on a different day changes the end date and the working days, because weekends and holidays fall differently. Working days count the start date but not the end date.

What date is 8 weeks from today?
8 weeks from today, Monday 28 September 2026, is Monday 23 November 2026. That is 56 calendar days, or 8 weeks, counting tomorrow as day 1 and the date itself as day 56.
How many working days are there in the next 8 weeks?
From today up to Monday 23 November 2026 there are 40 working days in England and Wales and 38 US federal working days, counting today but not the end date. That is 56 days less 16 weekend days, less the public holidays that fall on weekdays.
What day of the week will it be in 8 weeks?
It will be a Monday. Today is a Monday and 56 days is 8 weeks, so the weekday does not change.
Are there any bank holidays in the next 8 weeks?
No England and Wales bank holiday falls between today and Monday 23 November 2026. The next one is Christmas Day on Friday 25 December 2026. In the US, Columbus Day and Veterans Day fall in the same period.
What date was 8 weeks ago?

Sources and assumptions
- Calendar days: the target date minus today. Working days: Monday to Friday from today up to the day before the target date, the way the Days Between Dates calculator counts them.
- UK working days take off England and Wales bank holidays from the GOV.UK feed, including substitute days. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays.
- US working days take off federal holidays on the day they are observed under 5 U.S.C. 6103. States and employers can add their own holidays.
- GOV.UK: UK bank holidays (England and Wales)
- 5 U.S.C. 6103: US federal legal public holidays
- GOV.UK: Statutory Sick Pay for employers, linked periods
Dates are worked out for the UK time zone and refreshed in your browser for your own date. Your employer, court or contract may count days differently, so check the exact rule that applies to you.
