Bank holidays as gov.uk lists them, substitute days included. Switch any holiday on or off in the calendar above if your team's differ.

Working with a team in the UK: what to know.

The UK's bank holidays differ by nation. England and Wales have eight; Scotland has nine, with January 2 and St Andrew's Day and its summer bank holiday at the start of August instead of the end; Northern Ireland has ten, with St Patrick's Day and the Battle of the Boyne. Pick the nation in the calendar above.

When a bank holiday falls on a weekend, the next weekday is off instead, which is why Christmas can push the days off to December 27 and 28.

Four of England's eight bank holidays are Mondays, and Easter takes both Good Friday and Easter Monday: a four-day weekend the US team works through.

General information, not legal advice: contracts and collective agreements can give more days off.
