Employers are still trying to get their heads around how to deal with the extra bank holiday for the royal wedding in April. Does an extra bank holiday mean an extra day off for all employees? The XpertHR FAQ that explains the position tops the list of popular employers' questions for January 2011.
FAQs on retirement and the abolition of the default retirement age (DRA) are still being consulted by employers. These FAQs have been updated following the Government's confirmation that the abolition of the DRA will go ahead over a transitional period from 6 April 2011, and the publication of new guidance from Acas on working without the default retirement age (PDF format, 348K) (on the Acas website).
- What is an employee's holiday entitlement if an extra bank holiday is granted one year?

- What qualifying service is necessary for ordinary paternity leave?
