If you are on management level, there is no law against it...

Of course you should work on a Bank Holiday. You'd look bloody funny if there was/were no transport, no public utilities (that means things like water, gas, electricity, gas), no medical care or help or shops open, just to mention a few, just because you don't think YOU should work. Or is there something REALLY special about you that precludes you from working on a B/Hol?

It really depends on your contract on employment, however, it is certainly not uncommon for people to get paid double or even time and a half when working on a bank / public holiday!

There is no law against this, however do ask for triple time. You should be paid double time for bank holiday and 1 time for coming in, which means triple time.

yes their are laws to protect you from unprovinced job , at any job you have your right of function and they cannot force you for working on holidays , and if you deny they7 can not ire you for that reason too . law has a act fro that , but i cant explain that because i dont know which country or area you bel;ong ?

Yes you will have to work on public holiday, the goodness is that you get paid on high overtime.

am in a similar situation.
firstly check your contract.
then your holiday entitlement.
the october 2005 bill says that employers are not allowed to include the statutory bank holidays in your holiday entitlement so you should be allowed to have the bank holiday off.

It depends on the industry your job is in. And whether you can get there.
If it was me, I wouldn't be able to get there at all. The bus service which I rely TOTALLY upon does NOT run on Bank Holidays.

why not? if you have nothing better to do on that day, better go to work. but be sure that the supervisor has a previous knowledge and approval about it. otherwise, the time worked will be considered as unauthorized and hence will not be compensated accordingly.

Depends on company policy, and the holiday.
