The 12 Days of HR Christmas – Part 2

The festive season is upon us. But before the big day arrives, there are a number of HR queries and conundrums to deal with. In the first part of this blog, we looked at the first six  of our 12 Days of HR Christmas. Here, we turn to days seven to 12.

Day 7 – Bonuses

Day 8 – Holidays

Day 9 – Working overtime

Day 10 – Travel disruption

Although there is no obligation to pay workers in such circumstances, if appropriate, technology may allow the employee to work from home or another location. Alternatively, you could suggest that the day is taken as annual leave, or the time is made up at a later date.

Day 11 – Closing the business

Day 12 – Keep momentum up

It’s important that staff remain productive throughout the year so take the opportunity to have some fun in the festive season; perhaps running competitions to encourage productivity and keeping staff happy with plenty of treats are ideas to help maintain momentum. Hopefully our 12 days of HR tips will assist over the busy Christmas period. If you do encounter any HR issues, please do get in touch.
