Bank Holidays! yes again lol

[apple]

Ok so, in the employment policies at a glance pdf for annual holiday it covers bank holidays, it says-
If a bank holiday falls on a day you would normally work, you take the day off.
• If your rest day falls on a bank holiday, your manager will check if workload allows for you to have another day off that week.
If you are unable to take another day off, you can either:
 add the day to your annual holiday entitlement; or
 take the excess hours paid as overtime. This will be paid at the Monday to Saturday overtime rate

the manager is saying, as he can accommodate those people that week, [workload allows] then they are getting the day back, so he can fulfil that, as he can he is saying he doesn't need to look at the other options, addd to annual leave get it paid.


I always thought it had to be mutually agreed, came back from collections tonight and a sheet us up with this is what I am doing, despite the fact I said I needed to get clarity on it, any help or indeed clarity would be great, thanks

only other thing I found was from PSP joint statement which says--
Bank & Public Holidays

Normal Bank Holiday arrangements will continue to apply. Employees who work a bank holiday will continue to get either overtime or a day in lieu. The number of hours worked on the Bank Holiday will be credited back into the annual leave quota* (as a bank holiday day off in lieu). The system automatically credits hours worked back to the employee when the correct bank holiday payment is selected. Arrangements for part timers will continue to be pro-rated to ensure everyone is treated fairly regardless of the days in the week they work.

*For clarity where an individual works 2 hours or more and they choose a day in lieu they will be credited with hour’s equivalent to their average attendance for that week.

Where an individual’s rest day coincides with a Bank Holiday they will have the option of being credited with a day in lieu equivalent to the hours they would normally work on that day or alternatively they can claim BH excess equivalent to the hours they would normally work on that day

it says option here? which takes precedence, to me that means the opg decides?

[superdazzy]

It is down to you to decide if you want the day back as annual leave or to get paid for it, yours choice not the Doms.

thats what I think, other than what I posted, I cannot find that in writing

Not that it makes a great deal of difference , but are you referring to Good Friday or Easter Monday ? It's also very unusual for a manager to be able to accommodate having another day in the same week.
I take it you are full time.

I’ve already been allocated Mon next wk & Tues the following week as I am due off on Good Fri & Easter Monday....they won’t pay me O/T for the 2 days & they won’t let me add the 2days to my Annual Leave!! What will happen is that they will lapse it for both days & I’ll come in & do it with 2days worth of work on it for nothing. They will use the Corona Virus as an excuse of course.We currently have about 60-70 off in our office at the moment...

If the management can give you a day off the same week then that's the managements first option - you have no choice at this point.

If that is not possible that's when you then have a choice - OT or added holiday.

My understanding of it is you get to choose the day off in that week not the Dom.

• If your rest day falls on a bank holiday, your manager will check if workload allows for you to have another day off that week.

If the workload allowed you the option of different days then you could choose which day.
If the workload only allows for one day then that is the day you are given.

In depots where there are multiple partial walk or complete walk failures, adding another isn't going to make much odds, plus it stops your annual leave entitlement increasing and reduces the number of people in the building. I'm expecting a lot of OPGs to be given alternative days off over the next two bank hol weeks, which as you say, is something that rarely happens under normal circumstances.

Shouldn't you actually get Saturday off ? , on the basis that you have to accrue the day off before you can take it.

No it's a day off not annual leave.
You only accrue a day if it's actually your day off.
