We used to work Good Friday too, We got paid either time and a half and a day in lieu or double time options a or b if I remember correctly. A nice little bit extra in your wage packet. However the Union re-negotiated this so we now just get the Friday off and so no extra cash!! :arrrghhh

Well, we are being told that we will have to work bank holidays..........although it's only volunteers for IPS and prep, the way of things to come.
