I work in the Kent area and we get the choice so i think he/she is not being quiet as honest as he/she should have been,not sure why you were told that as it's not coming out of his/her pocket!

I'm also in the Kent area. Not sure about the money side, but the day in lieu is added to this years holiday entitlement.

Agree
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

if your day off falls on a bank holiday you can demand that day off in the same week or even the tuesday if (mon) you do not have to wait until next year also remind him that others will in respect have two days off that week so he is being discrimanate in his actions

True, Spoke to area rep this week to clarify the situation, was told if your day off falls on a bank holiday you can ask for the next available day
to count as your day in lieu.

That shouldn't be your problem. If you want the day off, and you're entitled to it he should make whatever arrangements are needed to cover your day off - or have i got it completely wrong?
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Is that in addition to your duty day off - or is it going to be that week's day off? And why shouldn't you be able to enjoy a BH weekend along with everyone else?
