I hope that you have all had a great Christmas and New Year break…the most difficult week of the year is over!!
I thought I would reminder all employers that this year there will be an additional bank holiday on 5 June 2012 to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee which falls right after the Spring Bank Holiday on 4 June 2012. This may result in a high volume of holiday requests from employees for the 6-8 June 2012 as they will be looking to enjoy a longer break by using fewer annual leave days (well they do deserve it).
But those of you with businesses may (if you have not already done so) want to set a policy to either restrict the number of employee’s taking annual leaving during those dates, particularily SME’s who may find themselves in a position where they have no staff on those dates!
If you need any further advice and assistance in respect to this please do not hesitate to contact me.
