Depends on your contract of employment I'd imagine.
I work on the buses and we work a rolling 7 day roster if I work a bank holiday then I get a day in lieu plus an enhanced hourly rate. I f I'm not rostered to work then i get a days pay and if it's my rest day then I get a day in lieu.
What's the provision for those not rostered to work on a bank holiday?

Personally, I am also working Boxing Day but I will get paid time and a half all day plus a day off in lieu. However, I think I am lucky in that as I am quite sure that by law, an employer can treat bank holidays as a normal day if it is in your contract, as long as they do not include them in your annual leave allowance.
Employers can count all bank holidays and statutory holidays as part of the 24 days legal entitlement of paid holiday.
Unless your contract states otherwise you are not entitled to either extra pay or a day off in lieu provided your total paid annual leave is 24 days or more.

As Ethel states, public holidays have no special status in employment law. If a public holiday falls on a day when you would normally work, the employer has every right to expect you to work as normal, at your normal pay rate and with no time off in lieu. (e.g. if Scrooge & Co decide that their office will be open on Christmas Day, they can insist that their staff attend for work at normal pay rates).
Some employees have special arrangements regarding public holidays written into their contracts but, unless such arrangements exist (or unless the employer decides to display his/her generosity on an ad hoc basis), you've no right to extra pay, or time off in lieu, for working on a public holiday.
