Q: Looking at the Status Window, I notice there are 52 weeks in most years, but sometimes there are 53. Why?
A: The Holiday Letting System works in whole numbers of weeks. A 365 day year contains 52 weeks and one extra day. A leap year adds a further day. Therefore every 5 or 6 years there will be a year when the system allocates 53 weeks.
