Getting paid for time worked.

orchidsrpretty

Hi all, just a quick question:
I work night shift. When working a Saturday night I get 12 hours Saturday pay(even though 8 hours are on a Sunday) and when working a Sunday night I get 12 hours Sunday pay etc.

Never really bothered me before as it balanced out but this year I am scheduled to work Christmas eve and New years eve, and even though I will be working 8 hours of both bank holidays I will not get double pay for it(or indeed anything extra for working NYE:(_
Is the legal etc.... I can't seem to find any info on it.
Thanks.

not sure if it applies to you as you do shift work but have a read anyway

also this

neither confirm anything about shift work and working bank holidays so maybe give the second link a ring and have a chat and see what they say about it
