Question about BH as assigned 'day off'

Killoffs · Post by **Killoffs** » 20 Aug 2018, 17:58

Hi all.

I'm a 30hr (5 day) reserve who has very kindly been given the 27th August as my day off. Other reserves have various non-Bank Holiday days as their day off that week.

Am I still right in thinking that if the manager can't allocate another day that week as the day off, then it can be claimed as an overtime payment? Is that a policy irrespective of contracted hours / does that also apply in my case, as a part timer?

Thanks.

if youre doing 6 hour days, then anything over 24 hours worked next week is OT or the option to get a day in lieu if you get to 30 hours.

Is that what you wanted? It’s YOUR choice to either have it paid as overtime or have an extra day added to your annual leave not theirs.

I’m happy with the extra day. I only had 4 left, now I got a full week

If you have been given the Monday as your day off next week (very impressed you already have a schedule for next week!) then you are entitled to EITHER overtime for one day that you work that week OR a day added to your holiday, whichever one you prefer (although if your office is like most then an extra day holiday isn’t a good choice as you won’t be able to book it!)
