The trick is to realize the following equivalence:

"The Sunday after the first Saturday in a month"  is exactly the same as:
"The Sunday on or after the 2nd of the month"

Spend a bit of time to convince yourself of that equivalence...

And the solution is the following two REM statements:

    REM Sat 1 MSG %"Weekend to work (Day 1)%"%
    REM Sun 2 MSG %"Weekend to work (Day 2)%"%
