Are your employees going on leave this Christmas? This infographic illustrates five annual leave dilemmas common at this time of the year.

After the rush of Christmas, the New Year is a time to put your feet up a bit as half the country takes their annual holidays.

But employers can sometimes find themselves with annual leave conundrums as their interests and those of their employees don’t always coincide. In this infographic, we illustrate the answers to five annual leave issues common at this time of the year:

1. Can we order employees to take their annual leave?
2. Can we cancel annual leave that we have already approved?
3. Can we cash out an employee’s annual leave?
4. Can an employee take annual leave in advance? 
5. Can an employee use their personal leave for annual leave?
