Annual leave

Just wondering if any of you have changed your holiday year. We currently run 1st Oct to 30th Sept but plan to move from 1st Oct this year and make it 1st Jan to 31st Dec. Any advice on how you would go about this ?

  • I did this at the start of 2022, the leave year was changed from January-Dec to Sept-August. We got everyone's agreement to do this.

    We use Breathe HR and there wasn't an option to change the leave year to a 16 month year so I had to calculate what everyone would have carried over into September 2021 and then made sure everyone had the correct allowance when the leave year was changed retrospectively. It was a headache but luckily we have less than 40 employees so it didn't take too long.

    If I was in your position I would do a 15 month leave year from 1st October 2022 if your HR systems allow.
