Major supermarkets often have reduced hours
Britons have been given a Bank Holiday on Monday, September 19, to mark Queen Elizabeth II's passing. The Queen died "peacefully" on Thursday afternoon at the age of 96 at her Balmoral Castle residency in Aberdeenshire, bringing an end to her 70-year reign.
This bank holiday will take place across the whole of the United Kingdom and will work in the same way as other bank holidays. Workers have no statutory entitlement to time off for it, as employers may include bank holidays as part of a worker’s leave entitlement.So what will it mean for shops and supermarkets? Most businesses and many shops are expected to close as well, as is the case with other bank holidays.
On many other bank holidays, some shops have decided to close while others have reverted to Sunday trading or reduced hours. Announcements should be expected to be made by individual employers.
