    I'm in the states for a two month business trip and have worked through St. Patricks day and will be working through Easter monday too. My manager back in Ireland has made no mention of me getting extra time off or paid more for working these days. Am I entitled to anything for working these days whilst I'm abroad?

    Again this is offhand without checking the Working Time act, but in a similiar situation to the OP the person in question got a day in lieu, after contacting the manager about it.

    Yep - note that the options below are your employer's choice, not yours.
    Your entitlement to public holidays is set out in the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Most employees are entitled to paid leave on public holidays. One exception is part-time employees who have not worked for their employer at least 40 hours in total in the 5 weeks before the public holiday.

    Employees who qualify will be entitled to one of the following:

    - A paid day off on the public holiday
    - An additional day of annual leave
    - An additional day’s pay
    - A paid day off within a month of the public holiday
    The Organisation of Working Time Act provides that you may ask your employer at least 21 days before a public holiday, which of the alternatives will apply. If your employer fails to respond at least 14 days before the public holiday, you are entitled to take the actual public holiday as a paid day off.
