Bank holiday working

[crapmemory]

My son has just got a part time job in a supermarket(25hours) after being made redundant at Christmas. He works 5 hours a day on Monday,Tuesday,Thursday,Friday & Saturday. Does this mean he is not entitled to take any Bank Holidays. He has asked but the Manager is totally unhelpful.

An employer is not legally required to give time off for bank holidays, nor pay for them if they are given.
Every employee is entitled to 28 days paid holiday (from 1st April this year) and an employer can include public and bank holiday leave in those 28 days.
His leave entitlement should be made clear in his contract of employment and / or the employee handbook.

Thank you.

he could ask for Good Friday and Chrstmas on religious grounds but that doesnt mean he would get them
