Public holidays pay question

Biodegradable

Below is a piece copied from the citizen information website. However, there is something it doesn't make clear! Is the second paragraph referring to the person, who has worked 40 hours in the 5 weeks before the bank holiday, or is it referring to everyone?

"If you have worked for your employer at least 40 hours in the 5 weeks before the public holiday and the public holiday falls on a day you normally work you are entitled to a day's pay for the public holiday. If you are required to work that day you are entitled to an additional day's pay.

If you do not normally work on that particular day you should receive one-fifth of your weekly pay. Even if you are never rostered to work on a public holiday you are entitled to one-fifth of your weekly pay as compensation for the public holiday."

I noticed on a payslip that I got 1.5 hours bank holiday pay on a week that I didn't work any bank holiday. Where did they come up with that figure I wonder.

Yep it’s everyone.

I used to get it in college, even thought I only worked weekends.
