Whilst in 2021, many of us are still just trying to leave 2020's pandemic year behind us, it seems like 2022 could possibly be one of the best years yet.
That's because you can potentially transform 18 days of annual leave into a mega 45 days off.
Next year, Good Friday is on 15 April while Easter Monday is on 18 April. This means, if your workplace closes on weekends and bank holidays, you could possibly get 10 days off work by just using four days of your allocated annual leave.
