No. You get a day off in the middle of January instead (a nice Tuesday afternoon for example).

Varies from position to position, I think, and the contract you sighed.

Generally speaking, it's either double pay, pay plus a day off in lieu, or both. Some comapnies do try and spring the "we choose when you get the day off" or "you have to take it within a certain timeframe of the bankholiday" line, some just add it on to your annual holiday entitlement. That's their rules and you can take them or leave them, but negotiate.

Depends Op. Some places would be time and a half and some would be double pay.

Ask your manager, or better still look at your contract.

[QUOTE= Organisation of Working Time Act 1997]
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[/QUOTE]

That's the legal minimums, and tbh I've only ever worked one place that offered anything more than that.
The day off as paid leave does not count towards your quota of holiday paid leave.

You're not entitled to "overtime" pay, rate and a half, or double rate. They can give you double rate, but then you don't get a day off in lieu, or you can get a day off in lieu and get paid a normal wage for Christmas Day (within a month, but beyond that, the day is at their discretion) but they're not obliged to give you both
