Fed up of working around the clock with little reward? We might not be able to help you secure a new job but we can help you maximise your holiday allowance in 2025, and you’ll only annoy a few of your coworkers by travelling all over in the process…
We’ve found a way for you to game your HR department and effectively turn your holiday allowance into 40+ blissful days off. Here’s how:
2025 Bank Holidays

Let’s deal with 2025’s first bank holiday (after New Year’s Day) – Easter. It’s a good’un too as, we always automatically get a four-day long weekend.
Extend your holiday allowance further this year and bag yourself a ten-day holiday for using just four days of your allowance.

Tuesday 22nd – Friday 25th April
Early May Bank Holiday – 9 days for the price of 4
The early May bank holiday offers an opportunity to grab some extra days. Burn four days but get nine days back. Your co-workers will be green with envy that you’ve only been for a couple of weeks…
Book off the following:
Tuesday 6th – Friday 10th
Spring Bank Holiday – another 9 days off using 4 days of hols
The second May bank holiday has rolled around and it’s time for you to eke out most of your holiday by bagging yourself another nine days off. And guess what? You’ll only use four days of holiday allowance.
