Hi all, Just wondering what other employers are offering next year in terms of holidays with the extra bank holidays for the queen’s jubilee? Our contract is 30 days including bank holidays and Christmas shutdown, therefore we offer an additional 2 days to the legal minimum. We just want to know what other companies are offering, whether they are giving an additional day or taking this day off their annual entitlement? Thanks

Not sure about named and shamed, or utterly speechless - there are too many examples of organisations doing far worse than this.
That said, totally counter productive.
Some of our contracts state 'plus public holidays' but do not specify the number, so in those instances we are obliged (and very happy) to add the extra public holiday to entitlement. Other contracts have holiday provisions inclusive of public holidays and therefore we are not obliged, but nonetheless we are adding the extra day as it would be both unfair and a morale 'shot in the foot' to do otherwise.
