How the calculation works
Weighted days = current countable days + prior-year countable days / 3 + second-prior-year countable days / 6.
The day test requires at least 31 current-year days and at least 183 weighted days.
Worked example
120 countable days in each of three years gives 120 + 40 + 20 = 180 weighted days: the test is not met. With the same prior history, 123 current-year days reaches 183 weighted days.
