If you're looking to maximise your annual leave next year, there is a clever way to ensure you get as much time off as possible...
We may still have a few days to go until 2023, but many of us will already be busying away planning our dream holidays for next year.
If you're wondering how best to make the most of your time off, there are ways to be strategic with your annual leave. Did you know that you can book 47 days of holiday in 2023 by taking just 19 days of annual leave - if you make the most of the Bank Holidays.
There are eight Bank Holidays next year, meaning millions of employees should be able to enjoy a well-earned break.
Your ability to use this hack will of course depend on where and when you work, but some people who work normal Monday-Friday 9-5 jobs may be able to take advantage of it.
You should always check with your employer before making plans, as it is up to them to approve your annual leave dates.
