It,s your contracted hours for that day at normal pay rates. If you do less than 39 hours per week, the hourly rate will also include an allowance for the delivery supplement.

It's a bank holiday, should be £120 (time and half; £80 is just normal o/t rate).

It you want to paid for a Bank Holiday instead of having days in lieu then the payment IS NORMAL OVERTIME. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... rd#p668142" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Where a rest day falls on a Bank Holiday (i.e. 25, 26 December or 1 January, plus 2 January in Scotland) and it is not operationally sensible to transfer the rest day to another day in the same week people will receive an additional day holiday (including those working ‘a week off in six’ or other variations on this theme) in the form of a day in lieu or alternatively the excess hours can be taken as normal overtime

Royal Mail does not pay time and half for any overtime, be it bank holiday, week end or any time. What planet are you living on.
