Part-time work and public holidays.

[Burdock]

I've seen the other thread about this but my query is kind of the opposite. I work a 4 day week, I'm off on Thursdays. The company bookkeeper has now said to me that on a week like this week because I had monday off, I should work Thursday- in other words I have to work a four day week.

I've been trying to look it up on citizens information but I can't seem to find anything about it- is she right?

She is saying that otherwise for every bank holiday I must be deducted a day from my holidays?

Look at the following link for detailed information http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1997/en/act/pub/0020/index.html If you have worked 40 hours in the last five weeks, the book-keeper is incorrect. You do not have to make up the day.

There's a section there for part time employees.
Other poster is correct, you shouldn't have to make anything up

Thanks Jano and Igy for your help, much appreciated.

I agree - the bookkeeper is incorrect. Because you normally work on a Monday, you should get one of the options for the bank holiday (day off, pay in lieu etc).
