Episode 20 Bank Holidays
This episode covers some key questions;
✅ What are bank holidays?
✅ Who is entitled to them?
✅ What to do when additional bank holidays are added
A question we’ve been asked a lot recently is do I have to give people the day off on 8th May 2023, this podcast gives an overview and seeks to answer this question.
The Prime Minister has announced that the 8th of May 2023 will be a Bank Holiday in the UK to mark King Charles |||'s coronation. Rishi Sunak said the day will allow families and communities to come together and celebrate.
Do I have to give employees the day off?
Bank Holidays are not a statutory right in the UK, so whether you give the day off depends on how your contracts of employment are worded. If your contracts say people get all bank holidays in addition to their normal annual leave then the answer is yes.
If your contracts stipulate specific bank holidays then it's your choice but we'd suggest that companies take a common sense approach as it's a once-in-a-lifetime event.
