If a bank or public holiday falls on a weekend,
you will usually get a different day off work instead.
This will often be the following Monday. However, if Christmas
Day falls on a weekend, the following Tuesday will also
be a holiday.
Time off work on bank and public holidays
Although many workers take time off work on bank and public
holidays, your employer is not required by law to allow
you time off work on these days. However, the terms and
conditions of your contract of employment may give you
this right, either with or without pay.
Most workers, with some exceptions, have the right to
take four weeks’ paid holiday from work. Your contract
may say that you can take bank and public holidays in
addition to your four weeks’ paid leave. If not,
you may have to take them as part of this leave. Even
if your contract of employment does not say in writing
that you can take bank and public holidays in addition
to leave, you may still have this right if it is usual
for other people at your place of work to take time off
on these days. Your contract of employment may give you
the right to extra pay instead of time off work.
Some history ....
Bank holidays were first introduced (in the
UK [of Great Britain & the whole of Ireland at the time])
by the Bank Holidays Act of 1871. Bank Holidays are days
when banks may close for business.
Bank Holidays since the 1971 Act are appointed each year
by Royal Proclamation. In fact, a Bank Holiday can be designated
in this way in an emergency situation, for example when
the government wants to stop currency dealing, or for special
occasions such as the Millennium holiday in 1999 and the
Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002. (March 1968 saw a notable
occasion when an emergency meeting of the Privy Council
was held in the middle of the night, attended by the Queen,
to declare a one-off Bank Holiday to stem losses in the
London Gold markets).

Uses:
This wall diary is ideal to print out and use
at home, at work or even keep in your case or
bag, while on the go.
Personally, I print out a couple of copies and
use one at home & the other at work. They
are ideal to put on the fridge door
or the office cabinet, held with either a magnet
or blue tack.
