Day Off / Bank Holiday

PostmanJay · Post by **PostmanJay** » 07 Apr 2019, 11:01

Hi,

My day off falls on Good Friday. Does anyone know if this can be booked as overtime rather than being owed a day I will probably never get!

Thanks

See your manager before hand should be ok for overtime.

Edited from Royal Mail Group
Annual Holiday Policy- Bank and public holidays Guide for employees VERSION 20 MARCH 2012

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
If an employee works three or fewer days a week:
 The total bank holiday entitlement should be reduced pro-rata to a five day week (rounded to the nearest half day)

"....owed a day I will probably never get!"
Bank Holidays form part of your statutory leave - minimum 28, Rm 30.5 (pro-rata).So will be recorded as such.

They can't refuse to pay you for it, get your unit rep to have a word.
