With a fine interval > 1 there is currently no way to avoid a effective grace
period. Fines can not start the day after the due date.

Configuration:
With grace period = 1
fine interval 5 (= weekly, the library is closed Sunday and Saturday)

Result:
The first fine ist set 7 days after the item was due.
Monday, checkout
Tuesday, item due
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday, holiday
Sunday, holiday
Monday,
Tuesday, first fine

Grace period for fine intervals > 1 should describe the days between the due
date and the day the first fine is set.

CalcFines() in Overdues.pm:
 266         my $days_minus_grace = $daystocharge - $data->{'firstremind'};
 267     if ($data->{'chargeperiod'} > 0 && $days_minus_grace > 0 ) { 
 268         $amount = int($daystocharge / $data->{'chargeperiod'}) *
$data->{'fine'};
