    Technically, if the payment is due on the 14 and the holiday is two days prior you should not get paid earlier, since there is no holiday on your payment date. You may do though, but I wouldn't bank on it (excuse the pun) :)

    13th July is not a bank holiday...only payments due on 12th July will get paid a day earlier so yours will go in as normal on 14th.
