Years ago, before New Year's Day was a public holiday it was interesting to see how many people made it to work.

That's not true.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I have never had to work a public holiday without being paid overtime or given time off. And I have worked on Christmas Day, over the Easter weekend a few times; maybe I was just lucky.

There's no statutory right to time off (or pay) relating to those days, although there is a statutory minimum amount of holiday that has to be given which those days can count towards.
If that makes sense.

There is no legal obligation clickety[^]in the UK for companies to give you public holidays - it is done out of the kindness of their hearts and because if they didn't they would be all over the papers.

Depends what business they are in.
My SIL is a midwife, and this year will be the first Christmas Day she hasn't worked for 3 years. Think she does get compensated extra for that though.
My wife works for Peter Andre's favourite frozen food retailer, and as far as they are concerned there are days when the shop is open and days when the shop is closed. From memory only Christmas Day and Easter Sunday (if the shops are too large to be open) are days they are closed. If you normally work Mondays then you have to work the bank holiday Mondays with no extra pay or time off.

I hear somein the NHS try and work Christmas day because they get paid quite a bit more for doing so.
With regards to Iceland - that sounds incredibly mean spirited to not allow bank holidays and I take it 'closed days' are days when people are not paid.

It would be better if you had only 38 working days per year
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true
