St Andrew's Day The St Andrew's Day Holiday (Scotland) Bill establishes a bank holiday to mark St Andrew's Day. - The Bill adds a date - November 30, or the following Monday should November 30 fall on a weekend - to the schedule of bank holidays in Scotland.
- It provides the legal framework in which the St Andrew's Day bank holiday could be substituted for an existing local holiday from another date in the year
- It gives employers the discretion to choose St Andrew's Day as an alternative option, replacing a holiday taken at another time
- Each organisation and company is free to take its own decision about what to do. Whether you decide to have a holiday, or not to, or to replace an existing one. A decision is not bound in any way by the new legislation.
