Every single PT employee here given bank holiday Friday and Easter Monday as their days off. I’d like to say I’m annoyed but it happened last year, i assume it happened the year before.

Make sure you all get 2 lieu days or OT payment

Cheers, I always make sure I do (by requesting a printout of my AL) but can’t speak for others.

It's still down to the DOM to input the data, which is the problem in our DO

I have this issue every time a new manager comes into the office. Where I have to matter of fact tell them, that I'll be taking another day off during the week.

Just another example of managers taking advantage of people that don't stand up for themselves, or don't know any better.

Sorted this morning - got paid OT instead of lieu day no problem

If you're given it as your day off request in writing to be paid ot for it as soon as you find out. Your manager will soon start finding you a day off as everybody claiming it is brutal on his budget

Not necessarily as 'brutal' as you might think. You lose out - for any OT that takes you above 38hrs as
any OT payment above the (current) FT 38hrs as RM don't pay contributions to the RMDC pension above 38hrs
and you won't get any delivery supplement for the same reason.

If you take the day off in lieu instead both of these payments are obviously paid by RM.
Also managers hate having to manage the 'extra' days off that are built up.
