There is no statutory right to time off for bank and public holidays. Any right to time off or extra pay for working on a bank holiday depends on the terms of an employee's contract of employment.
Does the Government have any plans to ensure that employers do not include bank holidays as part of the 20 days statutory annual leave entitlement?
The Government proposed in its 2005 election manifesto that during its third term in office it would extend the entitlement to 4 weeks annual leave making it additional to time equivalent to bank holidays. As with the existing entitlement this would be on a pro-rata basis for those working part time.
So previously.... 20 days (which could include bank holidays) has now become... 24 days (which could include bank holidays) or of course you could add bank holidays
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."
