Bank Holidays
by Liam
A topical decision with Good Friday and Easter Monday rapidly approaching, the Scottish court of session (an apellate Court in Scotland whose decisions are not strictly binding in England, but are pursuasive) has confirmed that if you don’t normally work on a Monday, you are not entitled to bank holidays that fall on a Monday (isn’t life tough). The same applies to bank holidays falling on any other day. The case can be found at http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/opinions/2007CSIH25.html and is a failed appeal from the decision of the EAT sitting in Scotland that this blog reported back in October http://www.pjhlaw.co.uk/blog/holidays/i-dont-like-mondays/.

Need to know the detail but the WTR are quite stringent-employees are entitled to daily and weekly rest, as well as minimum holidays.
