Closing Hours for Holiday Notices | Word & Excel Templates

A closing hours for holidays notice is issued by a business or company to inform about its closed operations during a holiday. This notice can be used for employees, customers, or both. In this note, the company formally announces to its employees and its customers, to avoid any inconveniences and confusion, that the company will not be working on some specific dates or hours.

This notice notifies the company that all deliveries, emails, and correspondence will resume once the company reopens. However, sometimes, companies do not close the communication channel, especially email, and continue dealing with their customers or responding to their employees over email, even during holiday time.

This notice is important as there are many holidays, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, anniversaries, birthdays, etc., and the companies need to inform whether they and their employees will enjoy those holidays or remain open and continue to work.

In addition, if a company does not want to close its operations but only limits the number of hours over the holiday time, this notice can help the employees alter the timing for their family gatherings. It will also inform the customers so they can rearrange their timing for the visit. This is a formal and written notification, so it helps clarify any misunderstandings and issues for the employees and customers.

Sample Notice 3

Hello Jeff,

I am taking a two-week holiday with my family to another country. Due to my pre-planned travel to remote areas, I will most likely have limited internet access. This means I will not be available for the next two weeks, starting from 14th March 20XX, even for emails.

You can seek guidance or assistance from Mr. Jake Walter, my assistant manager, in my absence. I have equipped him with all the documents and information you may need. He is pretty competent, and I am sure you will not face any issues in his presence.

I will come back and join the office on 28^th March 20XX. I will also respond to your emails after that.

See you then!

Regards,

William James.

Holiday Memo to Staff

It is standard practice to issue memos relating to daily office affairs. Memos are an efficient way to communicate with internal stakeholders. Memos can be used for various purposes, such as punctuality, use of office equipment or premises, use of office toilets, important events, a reminder for official rules, general violations of office rules, holidays, etc.

Whenever a business or organization is to be closed for a day or more, it must issue a memo to announce the holiday. Holidays must be announced in advance so people can plan their work and lives accordingly. No one wants to travel to the office only to know it’s a holiday today. To save time, effort, and money for employees and management, holiday memos are issued to staff. Usually, such memos may be sent through emails and posted on the notice board.

Memos remind employees of holidays and clear out any doubts regarding office days. For example, employees may be unsure about the Christmas holidays. Issuing a memo ensures that employees know exactly when their Christmas holidays begin and end.
