The employer must offer a minimum of 28 days for full time workers but bank holidays and other company shutdowns can count towards that. It’s a bit more flexible that way, it means it doesn’t matter which public holidays (if any) your company observes everyone gets the same minimum time off. It also allows situations like my company where our only UK office is in Scotland but UK employees still follow English holidays instead.

Yup and with there usually being 8 bank holidays in a year, that’s where the extra 8 comes from.
