No.

Both May bank holidays we had the option of getting the day back as a bank holiday credit or payment.

the whole system is a farce. The BHs should be credited to the leave card automatically rather than the palaver we currently have. Because I have a fixed Monday rest day, I am always fighting an uphill battle to get our pugnacious PHG to do the necessary whenever a bank holiday falls, even though it is my entitlement and not some special favour he is doing! RM is so antiquated in some respects it’s unreal.
