WHAT IS A BANK HOLIDAY?

A bank holiday is a public holiday in Scotland when most people are given an extra day off work.

It was UK law which first tabled the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 and said its aim was to ease pressure on workers by giving them an extra four days off.

Those days included Easter Monday, the first Monday in August, Whit Monday (June Holiday) and St Andrew's Day.

Over the years more have been added, and now Scotland has a total of ten public holidays.

Schools and banks are closed on these dates and transport services are often scaled back on those dates.

WHAT DATES ARE BANK HOLIDAYS IN 2023?

New Year's Day, Good Friday, Early May holiday, Spring bank holiday, Summer bank holiday, St Andrew's Day and Christmas are all bank holidays.

Here are all the dates you need to know for next year:

Monday, January 2 - New Year's Day (Substitute day)

Tuesday, January 3 - 2nd January (Substitute day)

Friday, April 7 - Good Friday

Monday, May 1 - Early May bank holiday

Monday, May 29 - Spring bank holiday

Monday, August 7 - Summer bank holiday

Thursday, November 30 - St Andrew's Day

Tuesday, December 26 - Boxing Day

Monday January 2 is a Bank Holiday next year as New Year's Day falls on a Sunday.

There are also holidays in September and October - but they change depending on each city council across Scotland.

DO YOU GET PAID FOR A BANK HOLIDAY?

Where a fixed date public holiday falls on a weekend, there is no legal entitlement for the next working day to be a holiday.

When this happens, workers are entitled to a paid day off in the same month, or an extra day of annual leave, or an extra day’s pay.

If you work part-time and have worked 40 hours per week for the last five weeks before the bank holiday, you’re entitled to a day’s pay if the holiday falls on a day you usually work.

Should you be you are required to work that day, you are entitled to an additional days pay.

If you haven’t worked 40 hours, an average of your day’s pay or the fifth of your weekly pay is calculated over the 13 weeks you worked before the public holiday.

HOW CAN YOU MAXIMISE ANNUAL LEAVE?

The first Bank Holiday of the year falls on Monday January 2, as New Year's Day occurs on a Sunday in 2023.

But if you take January 4, 5 and 6 off on annual leave, you'll be left with nine days on paid leave in total, including the weekends.

The Easter weekend falls in April, with Easter Monday on April 10.

That means if you take four days of annual leave on April 11, 12, 13, and 14, then you'll bag nine days out of the office.
