Bank holiday on day off

[Ali831]

If our day off falls on a bank holiday we have always had the option to take it as day off at another time, or be paid the hours. Due to the nightmare of trying to get it as a day off most of us ask for it to be paid. we have now been told this is no longer an option and it can only be credited as a day off to our leave entitlement. Anyone else been told this or has it always been that way for your office??

Nothing said at our office and its my day off on Monday. They'll probably wait until Saturday to drop that wee bombshell. If they do I'll ask for next Wednesday as my day in lieu. The bastards just love to get one over us

[Ali831]

We were only told today and apparently it came from senior management to all offices??

[Frankie15]

I asked our boss and he said he heard nothing about any change. We always get paid for it if that's what we want. But as I say they make changes when it suits them. Just like changing the hours of a short Tuesday after a Bank Holiday to the hours of the Monday or Wednesday to avoid anyone cutting off on a double whammy day!!!

Still not been paid out for the last two. Might just have to take these as lieu days after the September strike if they want to play silly buggers.

I've never known the option to be paid the hours instead of a day off later at the office I'm at, I wonder if things like this are local agreements?

We have been told the same but they have said that the day off in lieu will be credited to next years annual leave.

[korky]

that's not the policy though, day off same week to be offered, if not you pick pay or credit

If you cannot get leave why not just take it, It is just the same as imposing a 2% pay rise is it not it is your leave just because they cannot plan is it your fault and cannot get leave when needed!

Can anyone confirm anything on this , it’s my rest day bank holiday Monday , if my manager imposes a day in lieu rather than a days overtime am I entitled to a day off the same week and is there any documentation to back this up ?
