Bank Holidays: an employers guide by Xpert HR

- Advertisment -

The prospect of bank holidays will come as a welcome relief to many employees.
However, not all employees are entitled to time off on bank holidays and much
will depend on the wording of their contract of employment.

The issue of bank holidays can be tricky for employers to deal with, particularly
where they employ part-timers or shift workers. The fact that four of the annual
bank holidays in England and Wales derive from religious anniversaries can
also raise difficulties with non-Christian employees.

These frequently asked questions from XpertHR will help employers grapple
with the most complex issues relating to bank holidays.
