YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Life How to maximise your annual leave in 2023 By Georgia Green - October 7, 2022 We’ve still got three months of the year left, but we’re already daydreaming about how we’re going to spend our annual leave in 2023. And who can blame us? With the cost of living crisis looming over us this winter, we can’t help but hope for better and brighter days ahead. Getty Images So, with all hope that things will be different in 2023, we’re thinking about how best to spend our precious annual leave days off work to make the absolute most of them. In total, these nifty scheduling hacks will get you a grand 47 days off by using just 19 days annual leave. How to make the most of your annual leave in 2023 April In April, there’s the chance to bag yourself a lusciously long 10-day break by strategically booking just a few days of annual leave. It takes advantage of the Easter bank holiday weekend, meaning you’ll be AFK (away from keyboard) from Friday 31 March – Sunday 9 April. Days to book off: Monday 3 April Tuesday 4 April Wednesday 5 April Thursday 6 April Getty Images May – June At the start of summer, by taking advantage of the two May bank holidays, there’s not just one but two opportunities to enjoy nine consecutive days away from those wretched emails and Zoom calls by booking just four days of annual leave each time. The first one sees your holiday time start from Saturday 29 April until Sunday 7 May; the second starts Saturday 27 May and ends Sunday 4 June. Days to book off: Tuesday 2 May Wednesday 3 May Thursday 4 May Friday 5 May Tuesday 30 May Wednesday 31 May Thursday 1 June Friday 2 June Getty Images August – September Later on in the summer, take advantage of the August bank holiday and bank yourself another nine days of annual leave, from Saturday 26 August to Sunday 3 September, by booking just four days off from work. Your colleagues might be jealous but you won’t care as soon as you put that automatic OOO reply on. Days to book off: Tuesday 29 August Wednesday 30 August Thursday 31 August Friday 1 September December Finally, at the end of the year you can make the most of the festive period by enjoying a truly relaxing 10-day break by requesting just three annual leave days. You’ll be guzzling mulled wine and mince pies from 23 December to 2 January without a work email in sight. Days to book off: Wednesday 27 December Thursday 28 December Friday 29 December RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Everything we know about The Crown season 5 Aldi s exercise equipment is on sale with up to 50% off The best Halloween events for 2022 across the UK Popular in Life The You magazine team reveal their New Year s resolutions December 31, 2021 Susannah Taylor The TLC tools your body will love January 23, 2022 How to stop living in fear February 6, 2022 Susannah Taylor My pick of the fittest leggings February 27, 2022 Women’ s Prize for Fiction 2022 winner announced June 17, 2022 These BBC dramas are returning for a second series June 30, 2022 Susannah Taylor gives the lowdown on nature s little helper – CBD April 17, 2022 The baby names that are banned across the world April 27, 2022 The Queen has released her own emojis May 26, 2022 Sally Brompton horoscopes 27th June-3rd July 2022 June 26, 2022 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
