    From this page:
    Sick leave on a public holiday
    If you are a full time worker on sick leave during a public holiday, you are entitled to benefit for the public holiday you missed, as described above. If you are a part-time worker on sick leave during a public holiday, you would be entitled to benefit for the public holiday, provided you had worked for your employer for at least 40 hours in the previous five-week period - see 'Part-time employees' above.

    You are not entitled to the public holiday if you are absent from work immediately before the public holiday, and you have been off work for more than 26 weeks due to an ordinary illness or accident, or for more than 52 weeks due to an occupational accident.

    It says you are entitled to the benefit of the BH - does this mean you are entitled to be paid or time off instead?

    Also it says you are not entitled to it if you are off immediately prior to te BH - if you are off sick for approx 2 weeks before the BH are you still entitled to payment ?
