Yep Sat 1 Jan was not a public holiday but was a non service day - so unfortunately if it was your day off then you don't get a lieu day - you do for the Monday (3 Jan) which was a Public Holiday.

As a point of interest Christmas Day was the same.

How do we get our day in lieu? Is it just added to our holiday allowance?

Yes it should be done automatically - but always worth seeing your manager to make sure.

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.
