What is the legal definition of &quot;week&quot; in the context of an independent work agreement?
<p>I have an independent work agreement with a client and there is some ambiguity with the definition of the word "week" which is being used to describe a fixed quota that should be achieved per week.</p>

<p>There is no explicit definition of "week" in the agreement, so I want to know what a "week" implicitly implies, is it equal to a time period of 7 days? Or is it a work week with only 5 days? My client thinks it is the latter but I think it is the former.</p>

<p>Also, does a week cover a partial calendar week which can occur at the start and end of a month? How many days is a "week" in that case?</p>

<p>P.S The jurisdiction is Israel but I would not mind getting a general answer.</p>

<h2>If your contract does not define “week” it takes its normal meaning</h2>

<p>The normal meaning of <a href="https://thelawdictionary.org/week/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">week</a> is a period of 7 consecutive days. Depending on context this may be ‘free-floating’ or start on a particular day; usually Sunday in English speaking countries YMMD.</p>
