At my place we generally keep to 5 day weeks, except in December. This is because set-up and shut-off time for machinery is quite lengthy, so we want runs to be as long as possible. In some ways, as office staff, this is in my favour, as I might work the Bank Holiday but none of my suppliers do, so it's a nice day for catching up on stuff.
Our holiday year runs to end Feb. I've still got 7. 5 days to take and have staff off I have to cover for, for the next 2 weeks.
Damn.
