Setting reminder for last day of the month

Question

Is there a Slack reminder for last day of the month so that the reminder will occur on the 31st, 30th, or the 28th depending on the month?

Does something like /remind @channel to do X on the last day of the month work?

This syntax seems to work in setting a reminder for the last day of every month:

/remind @someone [What] on the 31st of every month

But what would happen if a month only has 30 days? – Sam Feb 04 '20 at 15:10
I'm unsure but I'll find out what happens this month since February 2020 only has 29 days. – Ed Blankenship Feb 05 '20 at 16:04

There is a way but i could not find the best one to do it:

/remind @someone [What] on the 28th of every month

This will remind you on the 28th day of every month. Unfortunately there is no way of working this around. You can set a reminder for every 1st day of the month too:

/remind @someone [What] every month

You can set a reminder for every month but its not that easy to manage:

/remind @someone [What] on the 31st of every January

and so on.

I've just created 12 reminders for myself for the next year

/remind @yourname to "Fill time-report" at 9:00 on Sep 30
/remind @yourname to "Fill time-report" at 9:00 on Oct 31 # Note that October has 31 days
...

This way you can adjust for last weekday of the month being a holiday in your country
