Symptom

Is it possible to exclude weekends and public holidays in workflow auto approval and auto escalation Jobs?

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure the auto approval/ auto escalation after 2 days. 
  2. Perform any action (e.g.: leave request) and a workflow is triggered.
  3. If the manager does not approve the leave on the same day, the application is automatically escalated to the second level after the weekend.
