How are you managing UK Public Holidays in 2011 and 2012? An extra day of public holiday has been announced for both 2011 and 2012. These are for the Royal Wedding and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee respectively. But are your employees entitled to these extra days holiday and how will you manage staff holiday requests?

Instead, in the UK there is a legal minimum right to time off which is for 5.6 weeks holiday per year. Click here to view more posts on the PAYdata blog |
