Post by postiewhite »

As we know good friday and bank hol monday is coming up. Im on a 25hr contract which normally spans over 5 days with overtime. This week ive been put on 3 long days to cover my hours. Does this mean im not entitled to anything back for the friday we are closed?

You are entitled to a days leave in lieu or 5 hours overtime for both Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Don't settle for anything else.

As far as I know you should get the same basic hours for the friday and monday as you would normally get which in your case would be 5 hours for each day.
Your rep should be able to check this for you.
