    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
