Present simple for future reference: "I don't work tomorrow"

Hi all

Would you say: "I don't work tomorrow so I'm meeting my
friend for lunch" or would you have to say "I'm not working tomorrow" as you're
taking a future reference?

Thanks a million

That is fine. It means that tomorrow (e.g. Saturday) is your normal day off, or perhaps a holiday.

Yes, but you can't know what he actually meant.

If Saturday (or any other day in the week) is your normal day off, you can use present simple.

However, if only this Saturday is your day off (and in the next week you'll work on it), you should use either present progressive or future tense. For example:

I usually work on Saturday. However, on this Saturday I'm not working
