Risso Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 If your contract states that you get 20 days that you can choose yourself, and 8 bank holidays that you have to take, then surely an extra bank holiday would just mean you get 20 days you choose yourself, and 9 you have to take. Employers are under no obligation to give people a day off, but I'd have thought that if they choose not to open a premises and an employee is prepared to work then they have to pay them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Too many holidays here already, especially in April/May with 4 bank holidays. Used to get a weeks paid vacation + public holidays in the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still doesn't guarantee that it will be debated just that it will be considered for debate by the relevant committee. Yeah, cira 160k signatures currently.

I'm shocked by this as I honestly hadn't realised this is how it is for some people. My contract is x amount of annual leave days plus bank holidays which last year was 9 due to Good Friday being in March and will this year be 7. The amount of annual leave I get doesn't change though and has only ever changed with time served. That is the way it has always been. During the Royal Wedding in 2011 then you were forced to use an annual leave day? Edited July 10, 2018 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extra bank holiday would mean an extra day off for me. It would just cancel out the leap year day I work every 4 years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then I was in a different role where I had to work bank holidays if rota’d on. I honestly cannot remember if I was in work that day or not. I did however not gain an extra days holiday. I suspect I may have taken overtime that day if I was off just to escape the bollocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
