Aye it is, if a bank holiday falls on a saturday or sunday its carried over to the start of the week. Well i hpe it does because i've no intention of coming into work on monday.

This year is an odd one

Where a public holiday falls on a weekend, you do not have any automatic legal entitlement to have the next working day off work. This occurs in 2010 when Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Saturday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) falls on a Sunday. It also occurs in 2011 when New Year's Day (1 January) falls on a Saturday. This means that Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December 2010, and Monday 3 January 2011 are not public holidays. When this happens you are entitled to the normal alternative arrangements concerning employment and public holidays that is:

-A paid day off within a month of the public holiday
-An additional day of annual leave
-An additional day's pay
-The nearest church holiday to the public holiday as a paid day off.
-Your employer can require you to attend work on those days.

Thanks for the replies

The reason I thought it might be a bank holiday is

Anyone paid on mondays from the social welfare will be paid today!

Everyone deserves a break. I've been working my ass off all year to keep myself and others in our jobs. If a bank holiday falls at the weekend then it's only right to carry it over.

Most places (including my place of work) are not open again until Tuesday.

Bank hols dont exist!

^ huh ^

of course bank holidays exists, there the days that Banks close. However, are you mixing up bank holidays and public holidays though. There is a difference as the banks have days off that aren't public holidays (eg Good Friday is a bank holiday but not a public one). alot of people just lazy and call them all bank holidays.
