Frequently Asked Questions
How many bank holidays do I get in the UK?
England and Wales have 8 bank holidays per year, Scotland has 9, and Northern Ireland typically has 10. You can check exact dates on GOV.UK.
What happens if a bank holiday falls during my annual leave?
If a bank holiday falls during your annual leave, you are entitled to have that day re-credited to your leave allowance, unless the bank holiday is already included within the statutory 28-day minimum under a Model B contract.
Do part-time workers get bank holidays?
Part-time workers are entitled to bank holidays pro-rata. If a bank holiday falls on a day you do not normally work, you are not automatically entitled to time off in lieu — but many employers grant it. Check your contract.
What happens if I work on a bank holiday?
If you work on a bank holiday, you are entitled to a day off in lieu unless your contract explicitly states otherwise. This extra day is on top of your normal annual leave allowance.
How do bank holidays affect my statutory minimum annual leave?
Under Model A, bank holidays are given on top of your 28-day statutory entitlement. Under Model B, bank holidays are counted within your 28 days, reducing the days you can freely book. Always check your employment contract.
