Easter Monday is an official bank holiday in the Isle of Man, following the Christian celebration of Easter. The day’s status is confirmed by the Isle of Man Treasury under the Bank Holidays Act 1989.[1][2]
Meaning and place in the calendar

Isle of Man employment guidance says workers are entitled to statutory paid annual leave and employers may count paid bank holidays toward that entitlement; individual contracts can provide more favourable terms.[2]
