Navigating Christmas annual leave can be challenging for small businesses, but now is the time to tackle it head-on. With the festive season just around the corner, many companies are planning their holiday policies for the upcoming Christmas period. This year, due to the placement of the bank holidays, a common approach is to allow employees to take up to five days of leave to bridge the gap between Christmas and New Year. However, flexibility is key, especially for businesses with varied operations and employee needs. 

Managing Christmas Annual Leave

Here are some strategies for managing leave over the Christmas period, ensuring minimal disruption while supporting your employees:

1) Offer Flexible Leave Options

Rather than mandating a full five-day leave deduction, consider offering employees the option to take fewer days, depending on their individual leave balance. This provides flexibility for both the business and your workforce.

2) Borrowing from Next Year’s Allowance

For employees who do not have enough leave to cover the period, allow them to borrow days from their next year’s allowance. This gives them the ability to enjoy the full break without impacting operations or personal leave planning.

3) Unpaid Leave as an Alternative

Some employees may prefer not to borrow leave or may have exhausted their entitlement. Offering unpaid leave for the closure period is a simple, cost-effective solution that allows them to take time off without using future leave.
