'Wedding Leave' | Should your company be offering extra paid time off for wedding planning and honeymoons?

Annual Leave is a term as old as time. AKA ‘holidays’, it’s the set days off that employees are granted by a company.

In addition to standard ‘leave’ there are the familiar additions such as parental or maternity leave, and some companies are now considering IVF leave.

There have been strong and serious discussions, too, around the idea of period leave, menopause leave and mental health days.

But there’s a new ‘leave’ in town: Wedding leave. Essentially, extra days off in addition to the regular amount of holiday allowance for those planning weddings and booking a honeymoon.
