I have given a script to call the workflow from BR. (The same can be used in BR too depending upon on requirement)

Let me know if it works.

Kind Regards,

Create a Business Rule,

With the same conditions

 Then in Script, use below method to check the dates and call a workflow 

// 0=Sunday,

// Get today's date 

var today = new Date();

dayOfWeek = today. getDay(); 

if (dayOfWeek > 0 && dayOfWeek < 7){ //it will iterate from Monday to Saturday 

var wflw = new Workflow();

wflw.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('workflow name'), current, 'update');

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct if helped

Can you use GlideDateTime() instead of Date.

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var dayOfWeek = gdt.getDayOfWeek();

//This returns day of the week as integer.

add logs to know what values it is returning. (Coincidence, Today is Sunday 😀)
