He is wrong, you can either have time and a half with a day in lieu, or straight double time

If your day off is Friday then you just get that day back, there is no payment for it.

used to have staff come in to do sorting and prep the walks but as saturdays are like a normal day due to revision
(but it was a good deal) the work of friday and saturday will be pumped out as we now have longer to deliver on a saturday, this will be our first year at easter delivieries and atleast more staff get the saturday off.
thats a point i am working this saturday can not wait!.

So any OPG who was not due to work this Friday, regardless of their post delivery methods revision shift pattern, should get a bank holiday credit day added to their annual leave tally?

Does it make a difference if an OPG works 39/30/22.5 hours?

I'm still not entirely sure that I have been given a BH credit from Boxing Day 2012, when it was a scheduled day off anyway, the same applies to a colleague who is on a different hours contract than me.

... Another shambolic grey area that I'm not aware of being clarified in black and white since P&L, where employment law says says one thing and RM contracts have not been formally changed (including notifying affected individuals, like 22.5 hour PT that went from 4.5hr 5-day weeks to 7.5hr 3-day weeks).

If you are on holiday, or your day off falls on the bank holiday( and any other bank holiday) you should be getting a compensatory day credited to your annual leave
