How working days are counted
The calculator counts Monday to Friday and leaves out the bank holidays for the part of the UK you choose. Both the start and end dates are counted. When you add working days, the start date is not counted, so 1 working day after a Friday is the following Monday.
England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays, so the answer can change by a day or two. Scotland has 2 January and St Andrew's Day; Northern Ireland has St Patrick's Day and 12 July. See every bank holiday.
Bank holidays do not have to be given as paid leave. Whether you get them off depends on your contract.
