If you are due to work on a bank holiday you should get a day off in lieu or paid for that day as overtime.

Pro-Rata gives you 5 Bank Holiday Days, As the following policy explains.

RMG VERSION 20 MARCH 2012
Annual Holiday Policy- Bank and public holidays Guide for employees

Number of days worked per week = 3

Calculation Number of days worked per week divided by five (working days in the week) multiplied by eight (number of bank holidays in a normal year) = 1 divided by 5 multiplied by 8

Number of bank holiday entitlement days due (rounded to nearest half day) = 4.8 (rounding to 5 days)

I'm not sure what role/grade you are but for us in delivery our holiday is in hours rather than days, so on a 29 hour a week contract you would get 29 hours a week holiday.

Holiday is done in hours for anyone in RM. It has been ever since RM moved from ManPower over to PSP. Entitlement is in hours and booking time off is in hours
