The person in your 'book room' should sort it if you have one.

You have to actively choose.
The default is a day in lieu.

I used to go for the lieu day but you could hardly ever get it when you wanted it for (especially if it was a Saturday) so I always go for the money now.

Our book room guy came round yesterday and today with a sheet of everyone who's day off was Monday. We just ticked whether we wanted a leave day or the pay, and then signed by our decision. Those wanting pay will get it as overtime next weeks - those wanting extra leave will have it added to their balance. Hard enough to take leave as it is, so I always opt for the money.

My line manager today told me that from now on if your day off falls on a Bank Holiday that you won't have the option of getting paid,
you will just get the day off in lieu, is this true or is he telling porkies?

The managers have now shown our PHG a letter from their area manager stating that no bank holidays will be paid if their day falls on the bank holiday, a day in lieu will be the only option.
Surely this must be agreed with the union nationally?
Some of our members aren't happy whose day off is this coming bank holiday Monday especially as it's hard enough getting days off throughout the year.

MRM picks : Bank and public holidays
Lies, nothing has changed in the above thread, flag it to HQ as soon as!
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

There should be no default. They should come round a few days before and ask which option you want
