Thank you so much for delivering the training to all our management team. Everyone absolutely loved the content and how it was delivered. There were many comments to me afterwards on how great the trainer was and how well the training was delivered. I think it makes all the difference when you have a great engaging trainer. Everyone took something away from the sessions and it’s sparked a lot of internal discussions and considerations for our own processes so thank you very much we really appreciate it.

The precise wording of your employment contracts will be relevant to determining the best approach for your organisation in relation to this issue. If your employment contracts state that full time staff receive “28 days’ holiday inclusive of all bank holidays”, you can simply honour that wording to ensure that your staff still receive 28 days in both holiday years.
On the other hand, if your contract states that full-time staff are entitled to “20 days’ holiday plus bank holidays”, your workers will not receive the minimum 28 days’ holiday to which they are entitled under the Working Time Regulations in the 2024-25 holiday year. This is because the timing of the forthcoming Easter break means that there will be only seven bank holidays in the holiday year 2024-25, rather than the usual eight.
Given that this is an unusual situation, we think that most employers will opt to reassure workers that they will still be granted 28 days’ holiday in the coming holiday year, even though there is one less bank holiday. (This means allowing workers 21 days’ holiday rather than 20 – but their overall entitlement remains the same at 28 days.) You should communicate this clearly to your workers so that they are aware of their entitlement.
