Duplicate days are allowed, but with just cause.
Edit: Y'all be strange.
I like the 13 months of 28 days calendar. With one special free day for newyears (two days for leap years).

And start week with a Monday, not a Sunday.
This also avoids every month from having a Friday the 13th
That would be a nightmare for tattoo shops.
(For those that don't know, many tattoo shops have Friday 13th deals with specific flash you can get for multiples of $13 depending on complexity. The quality ones have new cute Friday 13th flash a couple of times a year and lines around the block.)
Personally I prefer it starting on Sunday, but also here with Portuguese being the main language it only makes sense to start on Sunday, Monday to Friday are called second-fair, third-fair, fourth-fair, fifth-fair, and sixth-fair. Fair as in either market or festival.
It just feels weird that some start it from the middle of the weekend
There are 365 days in a year. If we keep the standard 7 day week, that gives us 52 weeks, with a single day left over. That day can be New Years Day, and be outside the standard week. Call it a special day, make it a holiday, whatever. Leap years would have 2 special days. Put the second in the summer to balance the one in the winter.
That means every year is there same. Divide the year to into as many months as you want, as long as each one has a 'multiple of 7' days. January 1? Always a Sunday. April 3? Always Tuesday. Leap year day? It's on the calendar between Saturday and Sunday.

That'd be great for people whose birthdays and such fall on weekends, less so for the others.
That's what they get for choosing a bad birthday in the character creation menu.
Can that 1 extra day be election day, and can it be protected? --Love and a very for help from the USA
Maybe go with an 8 day week. 5 work days and 3 weekend days.
45 weeks in a year with 5 days for global holidays per year (with another one every leap year).
No months, just weeks.
Every year is one day. One very long day.
Every day is a Tuesday the 6th. I'm pretty sure it'd summon Beelzebub.
only S and S
I'd swap tuesday and thursday, and sunday and saturday. SMTWTWFS
I'd pull a xkcd, we'd have 13 months every year because it's a prime number, but the amount of days per month would be powers of two for the first 7 (also prime!) = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128; after that, apply some weird math with the current year in order to distribute the remaining 110 days among the 6 months but such that they all end with an odd number of days. Every month would have 2 weeks, made of half the month's days + 1.
5 day weeks, 6 weeks per months for 30 days each, 12 months in a year, 5-6 days of celebration of the new year.
I love the idea of working 3 days and being off for 2.
Mine is close to this but 6 day weeks and 5 weeks a year. work wise I think each person should work 3 days and businesses run with two shifts.
Are you trying to anger the gods? Below the fixed stars, there are seven great gods and their lights in the Heavens. And each has its appropriate day. Which two gods shall you so tempt their wrath by denying their day?
An easy answer as it is not for a mortal to decide which gods are deserving, rather the gods must decide by whomever survives.
Happy Day of Thor to you this fine afternoon!

All months have 30 days 5 "months" of single days in the summer between that are rest and nobody works.
Skip every other day for the void
Holoscenic calendar. I get mine from Kurzgesagt every year.
