With Good Friday approaching, many employees will forego work for the long weekend. However, some employees may choose to work on this religious holiday if their company offers a flexible holiday policy.
Offering a flexible policy for when employees can take certain statutory holidays can take the burden off employees when it comes to requesting time off for the days that are important to them, said Carolyn Tuckwell, president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club South Coast BC.
In an effort to be more diverse and inclusive, the organization introduced a flexible holiday policy in 2022, which allows employees to substitute certain statutory holidays for other days, Tuckwell said.
