A savvy TikToker has shared a sneaky hack for getting 10 days off work for King Charles’ coronation next year – but not everyone is in luck.

Kathryn Leech, 26, a digital media manager from Manchester, is a self-proclaimed "savvy saver" and shares her money knowledge online with her 26,300 TikTok followers (@everylittlepenny).

In a recent post, Kathryn shared how employees can score 10 days off of work using only four holiday days.

It’s all about being clever with the calendar and utilising the extra bank holiday on Monday 8 May 2023 for the King’s coronation.

Kathryn explained: “As we are still getting our 1 May bank holiday, just book off work the 2, 3, 4 and 5 May – this means you will get 10 days in a row off work, only using four days of your holiday allowance.”

She shared the top tip on TikTok, where the post was viewed more than 1.1 million times and racked up 45,000 likes.

While hundreds of viewers took to the comments section, there were mixed opinions on the hack, with some people thrilled, and others rather put out that it wouldn’t apply to them.

One person pointed out: “Unless you work weekends and bank holidays.”

One person said: “I’m doing this.”

One person pointed out: “Unless you work weekends and bank holidays.”

“I work in hospitality I don’t know what days off are,” commented another user.

Someone else said: “What a way to trigger shift workers.”

“I’m a support worker so I don’t get bank holidays off,” another person added.

One viewer said: “Not if you work weekends or Bank Holidays, like a lot of normal people.”

“Well I work weekends and holidays and I will have placement during the week so no days off for me,” said another user.

Someone else added: “It must be nice to have bank holidays off.”

Meanwhile other viewers were thrilled with the news.

One person said: “I’m doing this.”

“Roll on putting in my holidays,” said another user.

Someone else commented: “I work in a school so extra few days off happy days.”

“Really nice,” another user agreed.

Another viewer joked: “I’m self-employed so I might ask myself.”

“Well I know what I’m doing now,” said another viewer.
