What managers should plan for

  • Holidays that fall on a Saturday (Chinese New Year, Labour Day, Christmas): check what your contracts and policies say about a day off in lieu or extra pay.
  • Expect leave requests to cluster around the long weekends. Agree a fair way to decide early.
  • If people work on a public holiday, check the pay or time-off rules that apply to them.
