A new bank holiday has been announced for the King's coronation in 2023, and a clever hack means you can use the state holiday to more than double some annual leave.
If you work a normal shift pattern with weekends and bank holidays off, there's a sneaky way to get extra days - 10 for the price of 4 - without sacrificing any more than you need to. By taking advantage of the existing early May bank holiday, people can take ten days off work using just four days of annual leave.
Last week, Downing Street said the bank holiday will fall on Monday, May 8 following the coronation at Westminster Abbey two days earlier on Saturday May 6. It will take place across the UK.
