For example when I use Date.addDays(1) for a task's due date. I realized if the next day falls into a weekend both Sat and Sun are skipped and it adds 1 workday (which is three days count). Now, this is great cause I was thinking of how to accomplish this in the first place but when I saw this result and referred to the official date class doc I didn't find this feature being mentioned. I also checked our org's Business Hours settings and sure weekends are not set as work days. So I just came over here to get a confirmation on what I'm observing is correct and hopefully, help someone who has the same question in the future. Thanks.
Here's a sample code that shows how I'm calling the method and checking the result,
Task t = new Task(
OwnerId = ownerId,
Priority = 'High',
ActivityDate = Date.today().addDays(1), //this is where I'm setting the Due Date
WhoId = contactId,
Type = 'Type',
Description = 'Description',
Subject = 'Subject',
Status = 'Status'
);
insert t;
and to check the results I use the UI in Salesforce to navigate into the Tasks table and open this task I created above and look at the Due Date field.

It does not interact with your
Business Hours
at all. It just adds days. From the documentation on theDate
