The 8th May has been declared a Bank Holiday for the Kings Coronation.
Many employers will be wondering how to administer the Bank Holiday for the Kings Coronation, so we have detailed below a range of considerations and a free memo to download to provide to your employees.
The coronation will take place on Saturday 6th May 2023. This will allow individuals and communities across the United Kingdom to celebrate the coronation.
This Bank Holiday will operate the same as others. This means that there is no statutory entitlement to time off. Some employers include Bank Holidays as part of employee’s leave entitlement, and others require Bank Holidays to be taken as annual leave.
Each business is entitled to make an informed decision itself. This decision could be to close your business and allow your staff to have a paid day off. Another decision could be to require workers to book it as annual leave as soon as possible.
We recognise that this is a unique situation and it is important to ensure employees are well informed.
You may want to consider the following:
- What if someone doesn’t work on a Monday on their normal rota?
- What allowance should I give to part-time workers and how does this effect holiday pay?
- How quickly do I need employees to inform management of their intention, so you can plan rota’s as required?
- If you don’t allow leave, will employees potentially phone in sick?
- What arrangements will employees need to consider for childcare as schools are closed?
