Issue/Introduction

In MUX timesheets JAWS does not recognize days of the week (Mon, Tues, Wed, etc) when user is navigating the cells. This behavior is observed in Edge using JAWS. In the previous version (15.9.2.1) the Add Tasks / Remove Tasks label was not recognized by JAWS and now in 16.0.3.3 this is working. The new issue hit in 16.0.3.3 is on the timesheet page, user hits the tab key/table navigation key to navigate the timesheet table cells but JAWS does not announce the days and the user doesn't know which cell it's on.
