This article is about the public holiday in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. For the bank holiday declared in the USA during the Great Depression, see Emergency Banking Act. For bank holidays in India, see bank holidays in India. For the 1938 film, see Bank Holiday (film).
A bank holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom or in Ireland. There is no automatic right to time off on these days, although the majority of the population is granted time off work or extra pay for working on these days, depending on their contract.[1] The first official bank holidays were the four days named in the Bank Holidays Act 1871, but today the term is colloquially used for public holidays which are not officially bank holidays, for example Good Friday and Christmas Day.
