If we were to have a new bank holiday, or a new special day like the up-coming St. Valentine's and St. David's Day, wondered what figure (or event) from history people would like to allocate to it?
I would love a Suffragette/Pankhurst Day as these ladies are so often overlooked in history and they are definitely my heroines.
Would also like to have a Sir Tim Berners-lee Day as the Internet has been such a groundbreaking innovation and he has not gained millions by it as has BG (not that I am criticizing him as folk have to make a living).
Any other ideas?

When I started with an agency 4 years ago the minumim paid holiday by law was 20 days. This was not 20 days plus Bank Holidays but 20 days including Bank Holidays. So one was left with only 12 days paid holiday. The law has been changed to 28 days minimum paid holiday so now all workers get 20 days plus the 8 Bank Holidays.
So if an additional Bank Holiday is added then a change in the employment law will also be required.

Your holidays depend on your employment contract and the law re minimum days.
Nothing in law says anyone is entitled to Bank Holidays as a paid holiday.
If an extra Bank Holiday is added than many (most?) firms will automatically give it as an extra day of paid holiday, but they don't have to.

A change in the law will be necessary to increase the minimum days from 28 to 29 days.

but, I know that when I was working - the part time staff who worked the end part of week [so Bank Holiday Mondays were not normal working days]did not get Bank Holidays automatically paid for - they got a proportion. so it depends entirely on your contract of employment and how it is worded.
