English term or phrase: Memo pack article
Further to the Memo pack article where we announced that all employees are entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday a year (including Bank holidays), you will be receiving holiday planner cards.

Any idea what that is? Any help much appreciated!

information letter sent to employees
Explanation:
"Memo" suggests "please read this".
"Pack" suggests a substantial amount of information.
"Article" suggests that it is of general interest.

This is a communication from the Human Resources department.

"Article" probably refers to a specific article in the memo pack (as Ann has suggested). The memo pack is divided into articles and one of them deals with holidays.

As airmailrpl has said, this supposedly relates to an "article" (an item, clause, paragraph etc. ) in the memo. The memo in question is a "pack" suggesting a lot of information and therefore some sort of structure, in this case a series of articles.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your help. Yes, I understand the first bit. I am only confused about the word "Article". Why would someone include an article in the memo?

Asker: That's interesting. Thank you. When you say "divided into articles" you mean points/separate ideas/clauses or a larger piece of writing, like a newspaper/magazine article?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  British Diana: This is exactly it and I can see nothing wrong with the sentence. "Pack" here just means the information which is collated and provided as a whole for each new employee. But you must mention that the letter/article was in the original information package
