We are planning on adding the following to our company handbook.

“You are required to retain a sufficient number of days from your basic holiday entitlement to cover the Company’s Christmas shut down period. You will be notified by the Company either individually or by way of a general notice to staff on the number of days you are required to retain for this purpose”

This needs to be done ASAP as we will be asking employees to retain 2 days this year. This is totally new to the company.

Can you suggest the best way to approach it.
