Quit After Easter - will I get paid for Easter bank holidays?

[Lilipa]

I have 1 month notice at my current job and I want to quit. I am thinking to wait to do this on the 19th of March so 1 month later falls on the 19th of April, so the idea is to get paid for the 2 bank holidays of Easter.
Does anyone knows if I would get paid for these days (Easter Friday and Monday) even though they would technically be my last day of work?

Yes, if you're still employed on those dates, then you should be paid for them.

In theory, yes. But do be prepared for the company to lie about things!
In the 1980s I worked for a large company, handed in my notice to coincide with the Easter holidays, finishing on the Friday after Easter, but the last 4 days of that week were covered by accrued holiday.

Despite only receiving my letter dated the day I handed it in, they wrote back to confirm my leaving date the Thursday the week before, thereby saving themselves 2 bank holiday days pay, and bringing forward my actual last working day to accommodate accrued holiday. They then forgot that I was one of the last employees on their old holiday system meaning that they they effectively decided they owed me a year's holiday pay in hand. So they actually paid me for 26 extra days not 2. I kept quiet.

It's not that simple. If your bank hols are counted as part of your entitlement then you will need to know when the holiday year starts and how much leave you've accrued to the leaving date and how much you've taken.
Assuming you work 5 days / week and have 28 days per year, the holiday year starts in 1st April and you leave on 18th April, the entitlement would be 1.4 days and not two even though there are two bank holidays during the period. Best thing to do is to use the government holiday calculator

It depends if you have accrued enough leave. If you haven't then of course you won't be paid. If you have, then you'll be paid but you'll be no better off as they would have to pay your accrued leave anyway.

My leave runs April - April. I accrue roughly 3.1 days leave a month (including Bank Holidays) so I would have enough leave to be paid and also have 1.1 extra days pay.

If you have less leave overall or have taken some already then you may not have enough available.

Thanks so much everyone for your help! I am a little confused now as it seems so many different rules apply. So, our holiday year starts in January in my company. I have 25 days and bank holidays so not count on my holidays, but I do get paid normally on the month when there's a bank holiday. Does that change the answers above?

Think of it as 33 days annual leave overall rather than 25+8.

You accrue 2.75 days leave a month. By mid Apri you will have accrued roughly 13.5 days.

You have used at least one of those days already for New Years Day.

Will you have taken any other leave before then? If not, you'll be paid around 12.5 days holiday in your final pay. It doesn't really make a difference if they are counted as working days as you're entitled to that leave forever.

However, say that for some unknown reason you've taken the whole of February as annual leave, including NYD you'd have had 21 days leave, so you would owe your employer 8.5 days pay.

Check your contract, is your notice 1 calander month, or 4 weeks? It will make a difference to your last day.
