class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Statutory holidays <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK, an employee is entitled to a<a href=\"https:\/\/blogsource.theholidaytracker.co.uk\/2019\/11\/04\/can-i-use-my-holiday-entitlement-during-my-notice-period\/\"> statutory 5.6 weeks holiday<\/a> each year, which equates to 28 days for an employee working five days a week.  The 5.6 weeks can include the public holidays, but you should be clear in your employment contract whether the entitlement includes bank holidays, or is in addition to the public holidays.<br><br>For example, in England, there are eight public holidays so you could list an employee\u2019s entitlement as being 28 days (including public holidays) or 20 days (plus public holidays).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. There is no statutory right for employees to take bank holidays off.  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While most office-based businesses will be closed on public holidays, there are plenty of industries that require their employees to work some or all public holidays.  It\u2019s entirely up to the company, but your policy should be clearly documented in your employees\u2019 contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Employees cannot refuse to work on a bank holiday<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as it&#8217;s in their contract, staff cannot refuse to work on a bank holiday.  It&#8217;s a common-myth that if you are working on a public holiday then you should be paid more. There is no statutory right for staff to get paid extra for working on a bank holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many employers pay their staff extra on public holidays as an incentive and to boost morale. It&#8217;s not a legal requirement to do so. As an employer, you should make you include this in the employment contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Treat part-time employees the same<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have part-time employees then you need to give them a pro-rata of the bank holiday entitlement so that you treat them the same as your full-time staff. Remember that to do otherwise leaves you at risk of a grievance and employment tribunal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need further reading, our article, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogsource.theholidaytracker.co.uk\/2019\/05\/08\/fair-bank-holidays-for-part-time-employees\/\">Fair Bank Holidays for Part-Time Employees<\/a> goes into detail about how to achieve this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an employer, it&#8217;s important to know the employment law concerning bank holiday entitlement and other public holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-holidays"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>4 Things to Know about Bank Holiday Entitlement -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bank holidays and holiday entitlement can get confusing.
