Good Friday - BH in England - if rostered day off you get it back
Easter Saturday - Normal working day
Easter Monday - BH in all of UK - if rostered day off you get it back.

Re: Easter holidays?
I dinnae see how those north of the border can have a Bank Holiday. Bank of Scotland merged with the Halifax to form HBOS, which is now part of Lloyds Banking Group, which is owned by ... UK taxpayers. As is Royal Bank of Scotland.simply_the_best wrote:

No banks = no bank holidays, surely ?
Get back to work

Re: Easter holidays?
If your shorter working week, day off falls on a bank holiday you're still entitled to a day in lieu.

If your rest day falls on a Bank Holiday, you are credited a day in lieu, the same as if you were on holiday.drb wrote:I thought that if your holiday falls on a Bank Holiday,than you get those days credit.If your day off falls on a Bank Holiday than it is'nt credited?

Re: Easter holidays?
Sorry boss, but does it make a difference if they was already dead when i found them? What if they was a soss chips and beans worker? ( Bit of shame there was none at my office in '07
)
