To calculate the number of weeks and fraction thereof that compensation is payable
for temporary disability, determine the number of calendar days of disability from
and including as a full day the day that the employee is first unable to continue
at work by reason of the accident, including also Saturdays, Sundays and holidays,
up to the first working day that the employee is able to resume work and continue
