The government has announced that there will be an extra bank holiday in 2023 in honour of the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The extra bank holiday will fall on Monday, 8 May 2023, following the Coronation on Saturday, 6 May 2023, and it will take place across the UK.
This does not mean, however, that workers will automatically be entitled to an additional day of paid annual leave. There is no statutory right to paid bank holidays, although they can be included within the statutory minimum annual leave entitlement of 5.6 weeks (28 days for a full-time worker). Whether workers are entitled to the additional bank holiday as paid annual leave is a contractual matter and will depend on the exact wording of their contracts of employment (or workers’ contracts).
