Aren't bank/public holidays included in your holiday allowance. So in effect, if office is closed, it comes off one of the allotted holiday days, if it's open you still have a day off to take?

Can't quote exact holiday amounts as everyone has different amounts of days. But as an example isn't it something like 4 weeks annual leave and 8 days to cover bank holidays? Or have i picked that up totally wrong?

And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

RM are technically right as technically once you get past 00:00 you are into a new day and the end of a public holiday day. Anyone from a DO, what days will DOs be working?

I think it's down to individual MCMs or resourcing units as to if a MC is open at all Friday and Monday nights of the Easter weekend, whether they have staff in at midnight or if they have all staff in for normal shift times (our night shift is 22:00-06:00) with the four hours (2 in Good Friday, 2 in Easter Monday) done as overtime.
