Look for the "excess duty sheet" near to when you sign in.

There should be column A and column B options, one is the money and one is the extra day. Tick your preference.

If you can't find the sheet, visit the book-room upstairs and ask for it or ask for guidance.

The payment option ended some time ago. The CWU have said nothing about it nor done anything about it. I can't see how it makes any difference because the additional leave incurs a cost to cover it. Spare a thought for those who are being 'stood down' on bank holiday. They are being told there is no contractual obligation on these days. Again the CWU couldn't care less and has now eroded contracts further by agreeing to the DOC duties where a part time worker is being contracted to work specific days with no mention of any days off.

There will always be exceptions. Personally I wouldn't be on a public forum telling everyone I was getting something that stopped being paid some time ago. Get Martin Walsh in here to tell me I'm wrong.

Does RM in Northern Ireland get St Patrick's day off as a bank holiday? We don't get St Georges or St Andrews day off on the mainland, does that mean our NI colleagues get less overall annual leave or is it a freebie?

Why will there always be exceptions? We all work for rm. As tbt said in bank holiday in lieu thread.they try it every time.if the bookroom officer asks whether i would like payment or day in lieu that will do for me not someone who thinks they know it all.

Just based on the responses and workers experiences shown on RMC you are the exception to the rule. Like I said I'll retract what I claim when Martin Walsh says I'm wrong. The CWU know full well what has happened and they've done nothing about it. It makes no sense anyway because the savings made from stopping payment are balanced by the need to cover the additional leave.

It was an option in the office I work at. Day in lieu OR payment.

I think it can be dated to right around the time he changed username from 'Dingo' to his real name.

We have the option to get paid for the bank holiday in my office too? Maybe you are the exception to the rule?
