With the Royal wedding set to take place on 29th April 2011, we were delighted when the announcement came out that we were all to have an extra day off, whether using the day to celebrate with Kate & Wills or to use as our own. However, are things as straight forward for all businesses as simply giving your staff an extra day off? The answer is in your employment contracts.
I would expect most businesses will offer their employees an additional days paid leave for this public holiday, however for some bigger businesses they will be weighing up what the cost of this will mean for them.
Employees do not automatically have the right to have paid time off on a bank holiday or public holiday, it depends what is written into their contracts or is given at the discrection of the employer.
What will you do?
