In the context of articleship attendance, the calculation typically considers the total number of working days attended. Here's how it generally works:
- **Total Number of Days Worked**: This includes all the days you physically attended your articleship duties. - **Total Weeks**: This is usually calculated based on the standard workweek, which is Monday to Friday for most organizations.
To determine the attendance for a week:
- **Total No. of Days Worked**: Divide this by 7 to get the number of weeks. For example, if you worked 60 days in total, then 60 days / 7 days per week = 8.57 weeks (approximately).
- **Monday to Friday Count**: This is more relevant for internal tracking purposes within the firm or organization where Monday to Friday is considered a standard workweek.
So, for official purposes like reporting to ICAI or any regulatory body, the total number of days worked divided by 7 is typically used to calculate attendance in weeks. This method ensures that the attendance is accurately represented in terms of standard weeks worked during the articleship period.
