The hack that gets you 12 days off using just five days of annual leave this Christmas

Christmas is less than two months way, meaning many people will be putting in their holiday requests for the festive break.

But before you do, it might be worth looking into if this Christmas hack could be for you.

By using public holidays on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, you can maximise the length of continual holiday this year.

The trick can get people either 12 days off in a row or 16, depending on how much holiday they have left to take.

A 12-day break for five days of leave

  • Days to take as holiday: 23, 24, 27, 30, 31
  • Your Christmas holiday: December 21 to January 2.

A 16-day break for seven days of leave

  • Days to take as holiday: 23, 24, 27, 30, 31, 2, 3
  • Your Christmas holiday: December 21 to January 5.

Office Space provider Offices.co.uk is predicting Christmas 2019 may potentially be a quiet one for office-based businesses across the UK

“We are seeing loads of staff cashing in holiday entitlement to maximise their Christmas breaks this year, and it’s definitely going to impact business.

"Not only that with the General Election on the 12 December, we are expecting an unnerving December,” says Jonathan Ratcliffe of Offices.co.uk
