I do Mon-Fri night shift..

We've been TOLD we are doing Tue, Wed and Thur night next week.

Oh and a 6am finish this Saturday!
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.

As far as I can tell (from looking at my up to date leave card) You will NOT receive a bank holiday credit for the Monday night into Tuesday morning shift.
You won't get one for Christmas day as it falls on a Sunday, you will get a B/H credit for the Sunday into Monday as that is classed as one of your rest days.

Basically, if your rest day is either Monday or Tuesday (when the bulk of your shift takes place) you will get a day in lieu.

PLEASE NOTE THE EDIT! :nana

I'm in the same boat !
I'm back in on tuesday night and will work 4 nights as opposed to some of my colleagues who will work 2,
and i'm only entitled to 1 day in lieu ?
and does this have to be put in by my manager or does it get added automatically as i don't trust her to do it !

thanks in advance.
