Due to this Xmas bank holidays.

How many days off are the CSS operators entitled to considering there are two official B/H days due to Xmas falling on the Sunday and Tuesday being the bank holiday.
Can anyone confirm before calls go into Headquarters for clarification and greviance go in.
Thanks a lot guys and gals.

Not sure what you are asking but yes 2 bank holidays were due. But, if my assumption is correct, you get paid a premium for the hours actually on the Bank Holiday, but you don't get them back.

If I have it right as a shift worker your Monday shift starts on Sunday night and your Tuesday on Monday. Ergo you start Wednesdays shift starts Tuesday night and those hours are paid at a different rate, but you don't get an extra day off for it, otherwise you'd get more bank holidays than the non-night workers.

In my office the f/t CSS operators work Mon-Thurs nights 23.15-09.00.
They get the bank holiday for Monday back, (as they would not have been working and as it is classed as their rest day), 45 minutes b/h payment for the Tuesday night that they work, but nothing for the 9 hours they would have worked (0.00-09.00) on the Tuesday morning as they have had that time off.
