Easter Bank Holiday payment/day in lieu

[eggraidonmojo]

What Oscar has posted does not mean you don't get paid, just refers to the attendance regulations - working time, which a manager can read if he/she wants.

It says exactly the same thing in a document from 2014 (when you certainly could get paid for a bank holiday rest day (http://glosamal.co.uk/Docs/Annual%20hol ... 0Guide.pdf).

The only exception might be is if you work three days a week or less on part time hours, where your bank holiday entitlement is reduced.

I had to laugh when I was offered a day's credit on my annual leave as I still have my fifth and six weeks pick to make and there are no slots left available on the calendar

Management have a particular habit of scheduling all reserves to have their day off be the bank holiday and automatically credit it to annual leave... which you can't get and then the company announced if you don't use it you'll lose it. I would advise everyone to take the money.

But sure trammsmiric who knows it all says we can't take the money

I'm far from wrong and workers experience is that payment in lieu is no longer offered. Of course the option of a day off in the same week can still be requested. Exactly how no longer offering payment in lieu benefits anyone is unknown. It's a cost to cover the lieu day. When Martin Walsh gets in here and tells me I'm wrong I'll apologise.

I've already proved your wrong.

Be interesting to see what happens as they’ve been round everyone who’s day off falls over these Easter bank holidays & asked whether they want the time back on A/L or paying for the hours that day brings.

I had the pay over Christmas when my day off fell on (I can’t remember which) a bank holiday day.

I’m pretty sure that must be an illegal practice.
By employment law you must receive time off in lieu if your day off falls on a Bank Holiday, to then not facilitate someone taking that time off and then removing it from them down the line seems very shady.

For at least a decade, possibly more, it's been standard practise to be allowed to opt for payment for a bank holiday day off in my unit. This year, our COM has told us that he's been instructed from above not to offer that option. Everyone whose day off was scheduled for today was given another day off this week instead (unless they wanted to defer it until next year's leave). The same applies next week for those whose day off falls on Monday.

As my office is woefully understaffed, the net effect is even more whole singleton duties than usual being failed and van shares being staffed by one person. Not that RM seem to care much about that these days.

As far as I've been with RM that has been the default. The local manager has the first option of offering the individual another day off in the same week. You don't have a choice at this point.

After that (ie the manager can't give you an alternative day off the same week) then it's the individual's choice whether to have a day off in lieu banked or have the time as an OT payment.

It seems from some posts now that managers have been instructed not to offer the OT option. Perhaps it's something to do with the increase in NI that employers have to pay now?

This is just banking hours under a different name, which last I heard wasn't allowed within RM policy due to agreements. I'll bet your COM will still get their bonus though.

It says on the people app in the Royal Mail annual leave policies

“ If, for whatever reason, they are not able to reschedule your rest day, your manager can seek further advice from the Attendance Regulations Working Time guides which are located on the Policy and
Information site on PSP.”

So my question is does anyone have access to the policy and information site on PSP? And could someone please copy what it says on here for technophobes like me to read please?

You ain't allowed access to PSP unless you're a manager. It literally has every employees personal info on it.
