Hi there 

Good friday is a bank holiday so it depends on a persons contract and if they are expected to work bank holidays

I never missed a BH in retail me, always volunteered for a 12 hour shift to take advantage of the extra pay.

I found that if you work in the private sector then you generally worked bank holidays 

But not so much in public sector or non profit making sector 

Obviously there are exceptions to this 

Bank holidays are literally becoming holidays for banks

@woodbine it's only Easter Sunday that applies to though 

I worked in retail for 30 years starting straight from school 

We didnt used to open on Sunday or monday when I first started never mind bank holidays
