Rest week on Xmas week....

I know not everyone on this works a 6 day week, but just want to clarify that can I choose the option to be paid for the 2 public holidays i.e Xmas day and boxing day? Just the Atask in my office thinks I have to have the days given back to me as leave?

Many thanks

Don't see why not, the usual rule of being given that option if your day off falls on a bank holiday should apply, can't remember which agreement it was in, maybe way forward but you should be able to find it on here unless someone else can remember.

Yeah I couldn't understand what he was getting at, didn't see why something would change just because it's Christmas. Is there someone else I can speak to if they try making out I can't have the money for it?

rep/area rep, or phone the branch. if he/she tells you otherwise, they are lying.

my driver is off xmas day and boxing day. our lino has already asked him and others what they want, 2 days or pay. they've nearly all asked for the money.

Get the money if you want, it is your right to be given a choice of that or lieu days which build up and are never given. It is a union/management agreement (Way Forward 2000 I think)

Your office sounds a million miles from mine, everything seems to be a hard ship and they literally couldn't give a s**t about you.
