Hi All, I would love to know your thoughts.
We have always had in our employee contracts that employees are required to reserve holiday entitlement for the Christmas week as we shut down over that period. I have recently joined my company and have noticed that for the past 2 years employees have been given these 3 days as extra holiday as a ‘thank you’ at a Christmas.
With covid carry over some of our employees already have quite a bit of holiday and if anything the Christmas shutdown would be a good time to use some of this up.
I have a few questions for consideration;
1. If we revert back to what our contract says, is this now potential an implied term given the past 2 years the holiday has been given as extra?
2 For new starters that join late in the holiday year who may not have enough entitlement for the Christmas period - what should we do here? Perhaps we could offer 1.5 days to match employees using 1.5 days of their entitlement?
Thank you, yes I agree it’s the engagement I’m concerned about especially given how hard they have worked during covid. Ok will consider those suggestions, thank you
