Your entitlement to public holidays is set out in the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Most employees are entitled to paid leave on public holidays. One exception is part-time employees who have not worked for their employer at least 40 hours in total in the 5 weeks before the public holiday.
Yeah, now that you say it, I remember hearing something about that before. I think if they were rostered NOT to be working on the PH then they are entitled to zilch. I'm almost sure a barman told me this as he had recently been subjected to this scenario.from memory there's something about shift workers as well,
don't quote me on that.
There're not though AFAIK, if a person is fully vaccinated and is in close contact with a confirmed case the HSE advise that there is no need for any restrictions in their movements plus you should not be out of work because of this. However if the employer wishes to restrict their movements and not allow them onto the premises (as is the case here) then the employer must allow that person to 'work from home', and this was refused.In fairness her employers are following the public guidelines
At the moment just the latter, but that may change when the results of her colleague's PCR test come in.But actually is your daughter a close contact of a confirmed case or a close contact of a close contact?!
Absolutely is was !Was it worth fighting for the bank holiday payment?
I agree, so would I .It was definitely the right thing to challenge the pay shortage. Though I would have waited, but there you go.
Not the situation at all @LS400 , there are three others put into the same situation.I’m not suggesting they’re out to punish her for challenging the situation, but with human nature being what it is, it tends to get the hackles up having being challenged by someone in a junior position.
Funny, my suspicions also.I'd be pretty sure whoever does the payroll knows the rules perfectly well & they were chancing it that it wouldn't be questioned.
Yerra sure my kids are so smart I can't teach 'em anythin'!@Thirsty . You should also teach your kids to pick their battles.
No she's not, as per HSE guidelines. :-So your daughter now is a close contact of a confirmed case and is now isolating/restricting movements?
