Jubilee Bank Holiday 2022 - does my employer have to give me the ... (ChronicleLive)

There are usually eight bank holidays in England and Wales, but this year there are nine due to an extra bank holiday for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

If your contract specifies that you are entitled to an amount of annual leave plus a certain number of bank holidays off, such as the usual eight, then you are not automatically entitled to the extra day off for the Jubilee. Unions have called on employers to reward their staff by awarding them the day off or extra pay regardless of their contracts. If your contract does not say that you get bank holidays off or lieu days for working them, then you will not be entitled to the days off in June. Xpert HR explains why that matters : "Some contracts of employment make it clear that the employee is entitled to take 'all bank and public holidays' as leave. Firstly, if you are not usually entitled to bank holidays off, then nothing changes. An extra one has been added to mark the Queen's Jubilee, while the late May bank holiday has been moved to Thursday June 2, the day before the extra bank holiday to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee on Friday June 3.
