In the olden days, only important people like bankers had a paid day off so it became known as a Bank Holiday. Mere peasants, if they had the day off, were not paid.
It's what you'd call a public holiday and when I worked for Tektronix, an American company, the time sheet was entered as holiday time as opposed to our own entitlement which was entered as vacation.
