Question

I work in a bar/restaurant do i get time and a half for working bank holiday days.?

Answer 1

It depends on your employer, whether he is tight or not. Ask and you will know. If no then work somewhere else cos while there are plenty of employers ready to shortchange you, but there are some good uns, too! Whatever the law says what really matters is what the employer does, cos it is a long hard road trying to cure the bad uns.

Answer 2

most places offer double time or time and half but you would really need to check your contract or ask your boss. i dont get extra pay but we do get extra annual leave per year

Answer 3

you should do yes or at the very least time in lue. It is probably best to check your terms and conditions before agreeing to work it.

Answer 4

I recommend that you join a Union today because your boss is probably ripping you off.  Either your boss gives you a day off in lieu [instead of] the Bank Holiday, or your boss pays your double time, as though you were working on a Sunday.

If your boss is paying you time and a half for working a Bank Holiday and then allowing you a day off later in the same week or month, then you've got a good deal.
