In the Uk do you get paid more for working Sundays?

Question

I work in a supermarket have done for the summer. This is my first time i'll work sunday though. Just wondering do you get more money? Like time and a half? And also on the bank holiday monday?

Answer 1

Most supermarkets will give you time and a half for sunday work and usually time and a half for bank holidays with an extra day holiday. Think its called day in lieu. I worked for safeway and then for morrisons when they took over and both companies did it the same way. I think both tesco and sainsburys are the same.

Answer 2

It is up to the employer whether they pay enhanced rates for weekend working.  Generally if the workplace is not unionised...you get nothing.

If it is private industry, you may get something extra if the union have negotiated it on your behalf.  If it is public service employment, then you get time and a half for Saturday working and double time for Sundays because these are national rates negotiated with the trade unions.

If you are against unions....swallow.

Answer 3

In some jobs you do and in some you don't. Depends on the company.

Answer 4
