2017 hack: Here's how you can get 17 days off work by only using 8 days leave

Yep, we're already thinking of how we can get out of work in 2017...lol!

Heading into 2017, we know that you want to confidently know that you're safely not going to work too hard. And we've got the ultimate Easter leave hack to help you out.

Thanks to how Good Friday, Easter Monday and ANZAC day fall next year, you'll only need to book 8 Annual Leave days off to get 17 consecutive days in total - how's that for efficiency?! 

Here's how:

Book off April 18th - 21st and then 24th - 28th

Green: Public holidays

Pink: Weekends

Blue: Annual leave days to book

It's a bit of a race to get the time off, though, and if someone else has beaten you to it or you only want to spend 5 Annual Leave days, then book April 2017 18th-21st and April 24th. If you do this then you'll get 12 days total.
