Holiday pay advice needed

Post by realitybites »

I have recently had two weeks off in April. The weeks included Good Friday and Easter Monday. My rota'd days off are always Fridays and Saturdays (I work a 4 day week). I have been credited for the Monday only. Would I be entitled to the Good Friday plus an extra day as it was my day off?

Annual Holiday Policy-Bank and public holidays
Guide for employees

What time off can be taken

A bank holiday falls on a day that an employee is not scheduled to work
Where an employee’s work pattern would either miss, hit fewer or more bank or
public holidays:
 The employee’s hours should be adjusted the week before or after the bank
holiday allowing them the time off

 Where possible this should be done by pre-scheduling the attendance pattern
in advance across the year


Bank and public holiday entitlements for part-time employees
Royal Mail Group (except HR Services)

Part-time employees who work at least four days a week:
 Are entitled to the same time off as full-time employees
 If their work pattern means that they miss a bank or public holiday the time off should be given as close to the particular holiday as possible.

Thanks for the info.
Still not clear on if your scheduled day off falls on a bank holiday. Do you get the bank holiday and an extra day or just the bank holiday?

A number of staff in my RDC work Tuesday to Saturday. For the 5 year period the I have been employed the following Tuesday has always been given as an alternative to the Bank holiday Monday.
As stated;
 If their work pattern means that they miss a bank or public holiday the time off should be given as close to the particular holiday as possible.
