Correct

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.

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.

No banks = no bank holidays, surely ?

Get back to work :wink:

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. :Very Happy
