Employee holidays abroad during COVID

Employee holidays

With the summer months fast approaching and with the fatigue of more than a year of lockdowns weighing on us, many are hoping the second half of this year will provide ample opportunity to enjoy holidays abroad again.

Employers are advised to start thinking about how they will deal with annual leave requests and foreign travel.

With travel restrictions in place for most of 2020, many workers decided not to take annual leave, and instead carry over as much of their allowance as they could into 2021. Again this year, with the hope of foreign travel on the horizon, employees have likely been saving up annual leave to be used at a time when there is a chance to escape for sunnier climes.

Amanda Glover, Employment Solicitor at Clarkslegal answers the top questions on holidays this year for your employees.
