Workflow delays only during working hours

Workflow actions can be set to only execute during specific times, however the delays execute even outside those times. There should be an option to set the delays to only happen during set days as well.

 

I have automated task reminders that need to be created every 3, 5 and 7 working days. However if the workflow is triggered on a Wednesday, both 3 and 5 day delay tasks end up scheduled on the Monday as the delays happen over the weekend but the task isn't created until Monday.

To set working days for a delay or time period would be necessary!

I agree! We're having to use a helper property and breaking delays into smaller segments to get what we're looking for, and this is less than ideal.
