In order to celebrate The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, many Scots will enjoy an extra bank holiday day off.
However, workers are not automatically entitled to the extra paid holiday - according to employment law experts.
Companies across the UK are starting to make arrangements for the extra holiday which will be held on Friday, June 3 this year.
The bank holiday is part of a four day national celebration to celebrate Her Majesty's 70 years on the throne.
But will you be enjoying an extra day off?
Employment experts at Scottish legal firm Lindsays have fielded queries from employers on their legal obligations about the date.
Ben Doherty, Partner and Head of Employment Law, said: “Some businesses are asking whether they need to grant staff an additional day’s paid holiday on June 3 or a day off if they work it.
“While I know that many employers want to - and will - do all they can to ensure staff can join in the celebrations, the legal position is clear: There’s no automatic entitlement for an employee to be granted a paid holiday on June 3.
“An employee’s entitlement to this additional paid holiday will hinge on the specific wording of their contract of employment.
“If their contract is drafted in general terms, providing that employees will receive all public holidays in addition to basic entitlement, employees are likely to be entitled to the extra paid holiday.
“However, if the contract allows for specific public holidays or entitles employees to eight or nine public holidays in addition to basic entitlement which together totals a minimum of 28 days, there is no obligation to grant the extra day of paid holiday.”
The firm are currently advising businesses whose employees are entitled to the extra day off to hold

Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee is just around the corner but the jury's still out on if both of her grandsons will be in attendance. A source tells ET that despite a report that Prince William banned Prince Harry from his birthday, there have been no engagements where Harry has been «banned.» He hasn't been banned from celebrating his grandmother at her Platinum Jubilee in June either — which will mark 70 years of service for the queen, 95, who ascended the throne in 1952 at the age of 25.In fact, it's quite the opposite, with the source sharing that Harry was invited to Prince Philip's service of thanksgiving next week even though he has indicated he won’t be attending.The judicial case related to Harry's security, in which he's seeking hire and pay for private security for him and his family in the U.K., has not been resolved and is still under review, which might be why he's choosing not to attend a few events in his home country, despite his plans to attend the Invictus Games in The Hague in the Netherlands next month.ET royal expert Katie Nicholl said Harry's absence raises questions about his relationship with his family.«This, has of course, raised questions about relationships with his family and even with the queen, who he was once so close to. We know that Prince Harry was totally able to come over to the United Kingdom, he obviously feels he can't because of the security situation with his family,» Nicholl shared.
