How long have you got off over Christmas?

[MakeAHouseAHome]

As in the title really. My last day in the office is Thursday and not back till 2nd Jan. Thinking about also taking Thursday off though as I'm not quitw feeling in the Christmas spirit yet!

How much leave do all of you who are taking 2 weeks for Christmas get per year?!

I'm taking the 27th off. Other than that it's just the bank holidays.

I begged for Christmas Day off, and I got it off on the promise that I work everyday from tomorrow until 5th Jan (so Xmas is my only day off after today)... oh the joys of being a chef 🤦🏻‍♀️

Two weeks this year..woo hoo!

2 days off over Christmas ( Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and 2 over new y3ar

I’m off 25, 26 & 27th December and New Year’s Day, other than that it’s work as normal. I’m working Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve though which will be busy.
I’m a HCP but I don’t have to work bank holidays.

Midwife here. Working Christmas day, off Boxing Day and back in on the 27th, 28th and 29th. I am off for 4 day’s over New Years.

I finish tomorrow, then not back until 7 Jan. Really looking forward to the break.

Some of it is time off in lieu (work for a charity, we get TOIL instead of paid overtime), some is annual leave

@Aaahfuck just over five weeks but our office closes for two weeks so don't have a choice but to take two then which is quite crap. I defo loved it in retail when everyone was going back and I then took a holiday in January. Also the working year seems much longer only having just over three weeks holiday from January to December.

I get 22 days plus three compulsory between Xmas and New year.

Public sector, TOIL here too and we have staffing issues so I end up working a lot of additional hours without pay so I have to take time off in lieu when I can = lots of annual leave not used so I carry it forward into the new leave year.

Break up today back on the 3rd.

Break up today and back on the 3rd (teacher), so 2 weeks off.

Just Xmas day

Between now and 2nd jan im only working tonight (3hrs) and the 23rd and 30th.

@aaaahfuck my partner gets 2 weeks off over Christmas and 2 weeks in the summer (known as shipyard fortnight) all Bank Holidays and then 6/7 floating days to take when he wants. About the only advantage of working in a factory

On mat leave until 29th January.
However nhs shift worker so normally no time off except random days.
OH is off 25th until 31st

How much leave do all of you who are taking 2 weeks for Christmas get per year?!

For those that don't work weekends and get Xmas day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day off, I think they only have to book 4 days off to be off for 11 days from Friday 21st to 2nd Jan. My OH does this so that he gets a decent break without using a lot of leave.

I'm off on Christmas day, Boxing day, the 30th, and New Year's day. Was supposed to have the 22nd, 23rd and 29th off as well but being pulled in...the joys of retail! I am going to ask if I can have New Year's Eve off in exchange for doing the weekend shifts...fingers crossed!

i finish on friday, back in for 2 half days next thur and Friday, then all new year week off

14th-7th.

Would have been the 21st - 3rd but I had too much leave left to carry it all over so I just took this week off and my manager has put the whole team down as working from home on the 3rd and 4th.

Christmas Day & Boxing Day, I work in retail and am quite happy not to take leave at this time of year. Hate having to take ‘forced annual leave’ & not take holiday when I want it. My DH will be off from 21st Dec to 2nd Jan & would much rather be working than using annual leave.

Finish tomorrow and off until January 2020 on maternity leave!!

Finish Dec 21st, back to work 7th Jan.

In previous roles I’ve worked all through Christmas in various horrific shifts...so the break in this job is massively appreciated.

25th. Because people obviously can't manage more than one day without a supermarket 🙄

Finish Friday, back on the 7th. But that's just how I've chosen to use my annual leave - plenty of people in my office taking less.
