Surely, If they work it then they get paid for it too.
Where are people NOT getting paid for the days?
(which is the impression that I get about what some are saying  )
I realise that some may be contractually obliged to work on the bank holidays because of the nature of the proffession & TB is going to make it so that people that do this get paid for these days in addition to thier statutary days.
But where are people NOT getting paid for working them? |
People on a basic monthly salary who get 20 annual holidays, get BHs off as well, without being so they essentially get 20 days + BH. If the BHs are included in the 20 days, you have fewer paid holidays than people who get them on top of their holidays.
Mind you, there's other tricks as well. My GF has a decent job, with 20 holidays plus Bank Holidays. She is also required to occasionally work tradeshows. If these days are on a weekend, she does not get additional holidays (or pay). Funnily, her boss, who draws up the rota, and also works the trade shows, always assigns himself a weekday, leaving the weekends to the others.
