The chief executive of digital marketing firm Verb Brands said: “This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity when it comes to England and I want everyone to enjoy it.
“Besides, this is about staff welfare. With all the stress of the game there will be enough to worry without the thought of work the next day too.”
Chris, 30, was declared Britain’s Best Boss in April when he gave everyone the day off on full pay to go to the pub as bars and shops reopened.
He made a LinkedIn post calling for the government to consider an extra Bank Holiday if England win.
Chris’s post read: “I am giving everyone Monday off work.
“History is being made and it’s only right that everyone gets to witness it – without having to think about work the next day.
“This is about more than just football.
“It’s about spending time with our favourite people, feeling a real sense of national pride and having something genuinely brilliant to celebrate.
“Whether you like football or not, another day to spend with friends or family after the year we have just had is essential.
“I think other companies should follow suit and wouldn’t it be amazing if the government did too.
“I hope the team enjoy their time off!”
Boris Johnson has been tight-lipped about committing to an official public holiday if England win, saying to do so would tempt fate.
