non-holiday
Let an agent explain the non-holiday or business day, relay its use in scheduling, finance and law from calendar and finance sources, describe the named positions, and distinguish a non-holiday from a public holiday, a weekend, a business day and a trading day, noting variation by jurisdiction.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
A day that is not a public holiday, an ordinary working or non-holiday day, a concept used in scheduling, finance and law where certain rules apply only on non-holidays, with the registry aliases naming positions such as the last weekday of a month or a bank day; in finance a bank or business day is a non-holiday on which banks operate, important for payment settlement and deadlines that roll to the next business day when they fall on a holiday or weekend. What counts as a holiday varies by country and even region, so business-day calculations depend on the applicable calendar.
