How to Maximise Annual Leave Around Bank Holidays
Booking the best dates is only half the battle. You also need to make sure your request gets approved before your colleagues beat you to it.
1. Book Early
Most people start thinking about their summer holidays in January. You should be thinking about the whole year.
2. Check Your Region
Remember that Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays. If your company operates across the UK, make sure you're looking at the right calendar.
3. Use HolidayWiz
Our calculator does the hard work for you, finding the most efficient gaps in the calendar so you don't have to.
