Hi Nick,
In order to find the Next working day you need to check for the Factory calendar days for eg, if a workitem has invoked today and if the Approver doesn't release the workitme for which u want to send a mail/reminder to the approver after say next 5or 6 working days, you need to create a function module.
For eg: In case of Purchase order, if the approver doesn't release the PO .
Create a Method saying "Next working day" , in which you will be passing the import parameters : PO, Factory calendar day and the sy-datum
and export parameter : date.
Create Input date and No of days as container elements of the Task and in the method create a Function module
In case of PO, consider the Factory calendar key from the T001W  by joining the table EKPO there by passing the PO.
then pass the date, No of days(say 5 days) and the Factory calendar key  to the "WDKAL_DATE_ADD_FKDAYS" , you will get the next working day of the employee.
Don't forget to check the Binding properly.
Do implement this logic and check the same.
