There is a double bank holiday coming up at the beginning of June that includes an extra 'day off' added to the calendar to mark the Queen's Jubilee. It means there are nine bank holidays in England and Wales this year, instead of the usual eight.
Sadly, not every worker is entitled to bank holidays, thousands will be grafting through the ' four day weekend' due to start on Thursday June 2. But even those usually entitled to bank holidays off - or lieu days or extra cash if they choose to work them - might miss out on the additional bank holiday this year.
You might want to check your contract. The wording could secure you the day off, or force you in.
