Have you got day off work for it? My mum said not everyone is getting it. X

I thought it was now a bank holiday so i would imagine everyone gets it

yeah its a new bank holiday and schools will have the 1st available day back after the easter break off as well

It is a bank holiday so if you normally get bank holidays off you should get it.

A lot of people are taking the 3 days between Easter Monday and the Royal Wedding off a bit like people do at Christmas.

awww thought you were talking about my wedding there Amanda

As a SAHM I wont be getting the day off I'm affraid - the chance would be a fine thing

Paul doesn't get bank hols off either so he won't be off. Just coz there's a wedding going on - people still need their bread

xx

That's what I thought and my mum works at one of the local schools and they are off but she said the other school doesn't know whether they are going to shut or not.

I don't work Fridays. I work mon - wed which is .6 of a week. I do have a good emplyer though and I've been given .6 of a day off in addition to my hol allowance.

But i did hear that not everyone will get it!

Our nursery is closing for the day, but I will be on Mat Leave anyway and will either have a newborn babba, be in the hopsital pushing....or at home waiting for her to make an appearance xx

My oh doesn't get bank holidays off so will be working

Whether or not employees are entitled to an additional day’s holiday will depend on the wording of the employment contract. Employees do not have an automatic right to paid time off on a bank holiday.

If the employment contract states that the employee’s annual leave entitlement is a certain number of days plus bank holidays, he or she will be entitled to the additional day off.

However, if the contract states that the entitlement is to a certain number of days, and is silent on the issue of bank holidays, the employee will not be entitled to an additional day’s leave. Neither will the employee be entitled to an extra day if entitlement is expressed as a certain number of days “plus eight bank holidays”, or if the contract specifies which bank holidays are included.

Lots of places will give it as a gesture of good will anyway i would have thought xx
