Payment for Bank Holidays
To qualify for public holiday entitlement, an employee must have worked at least 40 hours in the five weeks prior to the holiday date.
If an employee works more than the above, their bank holiday payment (if not working on the day) is calculated as an average day’s pay based on hours worked in the past 13 weeks.
If an employee works on the day, they are entitled to:
An extra days pay
A paid day off within one month
An extra day’s annual leave
Employees on Sick Leave
If a full, or part-time employee is on sick leave during a public holiday, they are still entitled to the above. The payment can be made as normal when paying other staff members, even though the employee is absent.
