As an employer you may be wondering if you have just been lumbered with the expense of another bank holiday in order for the country to celebrate the Royal Wedding on the 29th April 2011.
Whatever your feelings are about the wedding it is worth checking the wording of your contracts to establish whether you do actually have to give staff the day off and pay for it.
If your contracts are specifically worded to say that staff get e.g. 20 days plus the 8 normal bank/public holidays you do not have to give it or pay it as extra (unless of course you want to!)
If your contracts say that staff get 20 days plus bank/public holidays then it looks highly likely that you will have to give it and pay it.
