Landlord notice law question

I recently posted a few questions and received a lot of great help and feedback but it left me with one last question I was hoping someone could help me with.

In Florida I am confident I can give my tenant a notice to move out in 15 days since we are on a month to month lease at this point.

I am however unsure of the following:

-Can this be given to him on a weekend, aka today Saturday and therefore the 15th day being Dec 31st

-If I gave it to him tomorrow and the 15th day rolled into January, would he in fact have until the end of January to move out then (going off of a response I received from another member on a different post)

-Anything else I need to be aware of before giving him this notice today, which I would like to do if he doesn't get me rent (which is 12 days late, per usual)

Also, while I am at it does anyone have an opinion on reasonable late fees for late rent. The previous owner of my property wrote the lease we are using and it states, $200 for posting a notice of failure to pay rent, and also a late fee of $5 every day rent is late, with no apparent cap listed. 

Thanks for any help!

My goal is not late fees. My goal is problem free landlording. The tenants can decide (by paying early) that they want a discount.
