Hello!

Context: Remote, global SME in tech sector, approx 130 e'ees - high growth company.  

We're reviewing how we operate public holiday profiles across our remote company, which is mostly based in the UK with a growing US team and some across Europe (and growing). 

As we increasingly become a global operation, we want to consider how increased diversity of our workforce will affect how we allocate bank holidays. It's currently very UK-centric, but the US do have some of their own public holidays. 

We're considering something along the lines of allocating 8 days for public holidays to be allocated as they wish, whether this be for typical bank holidays or swapping some out to observe other public holidays according to their location/religion. As part of this I'd suggest that we have agreed full office closure days such as 25th December and New Years Day (thinking of productivity here if the vast majority will be off.)

This thought process is very much in it's infancy but I'd be interested to hear any potential issues you see with operating this way? 

Has anyone considered or implemented something like this? 

Thanks,

Shelley
