HM Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral - managing extra bank holiday

I'm in the NHS (acute and community services). We're stepping back some "routine" ops and appointments, but providing a bit more of a service than we usually would on a weekend/bank holiday, because it's short notice. Staff are have an additional 1/5 of their weekly contracted hours added to their annual leave entitlement. If they are working, they'll be paid enhancements and have the leave to book later. If they were due to work and their service is closed, they'll need to book the day as annual leave (using some of their "normal" holiday allowance if the additional leave allowance doesn't cover it). Staff who don't work Mondays, are on leave etc still get the 1/5 to use at a later date. Staff off sick don't accrue leave in respect of public holidays under our contracts (our basic leave allowance is well in excess of statutory)

Thanks for sharing that info, Emily. I'd posted (first page of this thread) about a tweet I read about the impact on the NHS, given the short notice, etc.
