    Yes. There are normally* 8 bank holidays in a year, in England. These are

    New Year's Day
    Good Friday
    Easter Sunday
    May bank holiday (normally the first Monday in May)
    Spring bank holiday (normally the last Monday in May)
    August BH
    Christmas Day
    Boxing Day

    *Because Easter moves around every year, it is possible to have a year with two Easters if your leave year starts/ends in the spring. (If your bank holiday allowance is separate from your 'normal' holiday allowance, employers are likely to force you to take the extra bank hol from your 'normal' allowance. In this case you should still get your full 28 days' minimum in the follwoing/preceding year with no Easter.)

    Easter Sunday isn't a bank holiday at all. Easter Monday is though.
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.

    Do they mean if he is off sick the day before (or after) a bank holiday they assume the person was sick on the bank holiday too?
