No longer paid for bank holiday by employer

If you work for your employer for at least 40 hours in the 5 weeks before the public holiday and it falls on a day you normally work, you get paid for the day even if you don’t work. If you have to work that day, you are entitled to an extra day's pay.

Is it therefore fair to say that the person who works their 3 days as Mon/Tue/Wed fares better? Like if you look at what they are earning per hour on average they are coming out with more than the person who works on e.g Tue/Wed/Thurs on weeks when there is a BH ( on a Monday). Given most bank holidays are on a Monday ?
One of my ex colleagues worked on Monday/Tuesday & Wed. She got her full pay every week, if a bh was on a Thursday or a Friday she got nothing extra - I think this was incorrect retrospectively.

Financially, probably yes. But they have to work every public holiday Monday which may not always suit.

By the way, Good Friday isn’t a public holiday so doesn’t have the same benefits as working a public holiday Monday.

Surly it comes down to preference or need?

The Tue, Wed, Thursday person will get extra cash where as the Monday Tuesday Wednesday person has a better €/hr rate that week.
