Bank Holiday information

Post by CharlesG »

Hello Hello
I was hoping some noble soul could point me in tight direction. I was given Monday off this week (surprise surprise)
I can take a day back as Annual Leave i know but im sure i read somewhere that i should be able to book it for this same week?

Bank and public holidays
In Royal Mail:
• 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

No chance the same week and no chance of them paying overtime I’ve asked several times and been told by manager they can’t do it

It’s a National agreement it isn’t down to your manager. Have you rep stick in a disagreement
