My SA was due on Bank holiday Monday, May 25th. My manager said i don't get the payment as its only paid when your on annual leave. Was he correct or should i have been paid?

The lino should be putting through your sa. We had this problem recently in our office, but everyone got backpaid for what they were owed, including sa for bank holidays. We had to do a resign for the sa and it states in the paperwork that you get paid your sa when you are on holiday and on bank holidays. It's up to your lino to get up to speed on the rules.

Payment will be made in relation to the hours that would have been worked on Scheduled Attendance had an individual not been absent on contractual annual leave or on a public holiday on the day or days they are otherwise due to work Scheduled Attendance

The manager is away this week. Spoke to the stand in manager who agreed it should have been paid. Its been backdated so hopefully get it next week.
