For those that employ staff ...

Simple question how do you manage weekends, hours and time off etc.

Depends what is in their contract. Legally they have a set holiday entitlement, I think it's 28 days. My staff get 4 weeks plus Bank Holidays. As for working weekends, if it was explained at interview that weekends are part of the working week and written in their contract they can't complain. As in time off, I only employ 2 people so we try and work together so everyone gets what they want. Some companies like staff to give 4 weeks notice if they want time off. With sickness I think the law is fairly clear (check the .gov website) as in after 3 day (I think) they get S.S.P..
