Part Time Work Benifits?

the whole year inn

I work in a bar and I only do it on the week end started mid september . I work 15 hours a week and maybe more depending on the week (This week 5 days, last week 3 days week before 3 days etc) and I am working news year eve and new years day 8-5, 8-5 .Talking with a fellow worker full time he thinks that I wont be getting any thing extra for working new years day while he is getting double time and a paid day, thats fair enough for him but what I am entitled to?Checked oasis.gov couldnt find any thing.

You are entitled to some form of recompense.

from http://www.oasis.gov.ie/employment/holidays_and_leave/annual_leave_public_holidays.html

Most employees are entitled to have paid leave on public holidays. One exception is part-time employees who have not worked at least 40 hours in total in the 5 weeks before the public holiday.

Employees who qualify will be entitled to either the public holiday off as paid leave or one of the following alternatives:

* A paid day off within a month of the public holiday
* An additional day of annual leave
* An additional day's pay
* The nearest church holiday to the public holiday as a paid day off
.....
Part-time employees who are entitled to public holiday leave, but who are not due to work on that particular day should receive 1/5 (20%) of their weekly pay instead of the actual day's leave.[/b]

So what does that mean for you?
It means you're entitled, as above, to another day off (either within a month of the BH or added to your annual leave), or a (part-time) day's pay.

You're not entitled to any more than normal pay while working, since that's something you must have agreed upon with your employer.
