When working bank holidays in Ireland you are entitled to

(a) a paid day off on that day,

(b) a paid day off within a month of that day,

(c) an additional day of annual leave,

(d) an additional day's pay:

But my question is can an employer change the entitlement without asking anyone? For instance if you normally get (d) for working a bank holiday can an employer change it to (c) with no consultation with employees?
