Working on Good Friday

quarryman

Assuming you are employed, are you in work on Friday?

No.

Are you?

Schism

Negative, I just happen to have that day off though.

Degag

Work in a bar, so no.:D

Not from limerick obviously so thank god - for a variety of reasons!:D

Als76

not working booked the day of other than that would have had to work. if people have to work pubs should open.

jokettle

No. I'm a postgrad student, so no-on will notice if I'm not in the office

andykells

Some of us have to work to keep the country afloat

mojesius

Yes, working in a restaurant. We have to cover all beer taps etc. with bags. F*cking ridiculous.

dlofnep

Yup - I'm working, but I'm part-time so I get to do all the crappy shifts. Don't care though to be honest. It's money.

Bolag_the_2nd

Why? Bar staff have to work other times when nearly everyone people are off, like Easter, All through Christmas, Paddy's Day etc etc. Are they not entitled to a day off?

People who work in bars should expect to work weekends and with a bank holiday weekend it would be busier than normal. i work in retail and we close xmas day and thats it but i knew that when i took the job.

walshkvn

yes working and working the monday ... work the american shift and so get the american holidays off instead.

zootroid

Unemployed at the moment, so no. But have worked it every other year.

foodaholic

yep working nights so not missing out on having no booze

G_R

yep in from 1-10.30.

does anyone know if its double time, sunday time or normal time??? or does it just depend on your employer?

Agent Smith

Shryke

I'm off Saturday and that's it. I work in a shop so I expect massive crowds of ye coming in wrecking my head.

Your employer could be nicer than mine but I think it's normal. If I'm wrong then I have 8 years of backdated double pay coming my way.

PeterIanStaker

I'm a postgrad, so I will be writing etc, but taking the evening off to crack open the beer chillin' in the fridge since the night before, and have a few burgers.

bazmaiden

ilovebiology

kodute

Same as any other Friday... thats a yes.

tipperaryboy

Yes in a supermarket where people wil be going mad buying chocolate eggs..looking forward to it

Abrean

Nope and they gave us tomorrow off as well for all our hard work, 5 day weekend yay!:D

Gavin "shels"

Hardly ever work Fridays unless I need a Saturday or Sunday off so I'm grand. Working Saturday, Sunday and most likely Monday.:(

Yes, just a half day from 9-1.

lizardfudge

We give a half day.

And staff get shirty with me when I tell them that... f*cks sake.. we don't have to give them any time off.

Thomas828

Not workin this year, but when I worked for Woolworths I never got Good Friday off. It seems Sundays and holy days mean nothing here in England.

Mc Love

Munster V Leinster - that would be a no!:D

dammitjanet

I'm working a double shift. Ah well, won't complain, would rather be working than unemployed

Rud

The point is good friday is a normal working day and most people work it and we should be happy to be working.

if everyone else is off work pubs should be open as they would be busy and people might pop in for a pint on there way home from Mass!

Minstrel27

It is a UK public holiday so no.
