Different ways to say weekend in Russian?

What is the mostly accepted way/expression?

Выходн́ые.

выходные; выходные дни; уик-энд.

thx! translator keeps giving me уикенд and dictionnary says there is no such word.

am i wrong when i'm saying that vykhodnoy is the opposite of a working day, not necessarily the end of the week?
hence, how would you say "i'm working on week-ends"?
and can you say "vtornik i sreda u menia vykhodnye"?

Я работаю по выходным. (if it's usually) / Я работаю на выходных. / На выходных я работаю. / В выходные я работаю.
