On average, my basic working week is 39 hours over either 4 or 5 days, when rostered on a bank holiday I get paid double my hourly rate for whatever hours I work, if my shift is 6 hours, I get paid 12, if my shift is 11 hours I get paid 22.
Some have been saying recently that even if only a 6 hour shift, one is entitled to normal payment for that 6 hours plus a day’s pay which is 7.8 hours (39/5).
The counter argument of course is when we do an 11 hour shift, possibly we are only entitled to an additional 7.8 hours rather than the 11 we get.
Citizens information etc give one of the options for working Bank Holidays as an additional day’s pay, but makes no reference to how shorter or longer days are dealt with.
Are we been done on shorter bank holiday shifts ?
Are we been overpaid on longer bank holiday shifts ?
Are we entitled to an additional 7.8 hours even for shorter shifts but still entitled to double for longer shifts ?
Or, is the current payment method correct ?
Can anyone provide a definitive answer (If there is one) and a link to same ?
Thank’s.
