Should there be an apostrophe after days?

When it is one measure of time (e.g., a day, one week), the apostrophe goes before the “s” (e.g., a day’s pay, one week’s vacation). When it is more than one measure of time (two days, five weeks), it goes after the “s” (e.g., two days’ pay, five weeks’ vacation).

Is it day’s notice or days notice?

Regarding the apostrophe after notice, think how you’d refer to a notice period that’s one day long: you’d say one day’s notice, with an apostrophe, not one day notice. So when you refer to a notice period that’s several days long, you say days’, with the apostrophe.

Note that you would write 30-day notice or 30 days’ notice but not 30-days notice. There is an exception of sorts for fractions: two-thirds majority. Suspensive hyphens.

Does next week’s have an apostrophe?
