How to get an 11-day holiday this December using only 3 days of leave
For this to work, employees will have to get Bank Holidays off as part of their contract with their employer.
For those who typically work Monday to Friday, using Bank Holidays and time off can help maximise your time away from the desk.
Step one is familiarising yourself with Scottish Bank Holidays.
Full list of December and January Bank Holidays in Scotland in 2022 and 2023
Here is a list of the Christmas and New Year's Bank Holidays available to Scots:
- Boxing Day, December 26
- Christmas, December 25 (substitute day)
- New Year's Day, January 2 (substitute day)
- January 2's substitute day on January 3
Days to book off in December and January 2022 and 2023
According to Frank Recruitment Group, an 11-day holiday can be achieved by taking just three days off from Wednesday, December 28 to Friday, December 30.
With Boxing Day on December 26 and a Christmas substitute day on December 27, workers can take the whole week off and not return to the office until Wednesday, January 4 as both January 2 and 3 are substitute Bank Holiday dates.
This means employees can have a holiday spanning Saturday, December 24, Sunday (25), Monday (Boxing Day), Tuesday (substitute Christmas Day), Wednesday (28), Thursday (29), Friday (30), Saturday (31), Sunday (January 1, 2023), Monday (Substitute New Year's Day), and Tuesday (03).

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
