Important is that it has to be the second working (Mo-Fr).
Example: If 1st and 2nd Days of month are Sat and Sun the script must run on 4th day of month (2n working day) which is Thuesday.

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards

Sat and Sun are not working days (at least where I live).
Your first and send WORKING days of a month don't have to be Monday and Tuesday - they can be anything: they could be Friday and Monday for all we know.
