Weekly and Monthly Cron Jobs

I just want to clarify the schedule parameters for the weekly cron job. I want the cron job to run on the Monday of every week by 12am. How do i go about that? The weekly cron job code snippet in the doc didnt include the day key and value but the monthly includes it.

crons.monthly(
  "Bill customers at ",
  {
    hourUTC: 17, // (9:30am Pacific/10:30am Daylight Savings Pacific)
    minuteUTC: 30,
    day: 1,
  },
  api.billing.billCustomers
)

crons.weekly(
  "Weekly re-engagement email",
  {
    hourUTC: 17, // (9:30am Pacific/10:30am Daylight Savings Pacific)
    minuteUTC: 30,
  },
  api.emails.send
)

It's dayOfWeek - it's all typed so intellisense in your editor helps here Here's the schedule definition from source:

/** @public */
export type Weekly = {
  /**
   * "monday", "tuesday", etc.
   */
  dayOfWeek: DayOfWeek;
  /**
   * 0-23, hour of day. Remember to convert from your own time zone to UTC.
   */
  hourUTC: number;
  /**
   * 0-59, minute of hour. Remember to convert from your own time zone to UTC.
   */
  minuteUTC: number;
};

/** @public */
export type Weekly = {
  /**
   * "monday", "tuesday", etc.
   */
  dayOfWeek: DayOfWeek;
  /**
   * 0-23, hour of day. Remember to convert from your own time zone to UTC.
   */
  hourUTC: number;
  /**
   * 0-59, minute of hour. Remember to convert from your own time zone to UTC.
   */
  minuteUTC: number;
};
