    Essentially what the title says, I feel as if I'm being shafted with this. I'm paid in Euro and pay tax in euro but im living in NI for the next few months - I'm missing out on the bank holiday this Monday. Would I be right to say I am owed a holiday?

    Would appreciate insight, I'm just trying to get my head around it. I've checked for the period I'll be here and I wont get back a bank holiday in terms of NI having one and not ROI.

    Have you asked your employer? That would be the easiest thing - they should give you a day off in lieu.

    Id check your contract but if your paid in euro and your company is based in Dublin I expect you are covered by Irish company law and unless explicitly stated in your contract entitled to Irish bank holidays. Which means in this case you are entitled to the day off, a day off in lieu or an additional days pay.

    There are companies in Ireland that service exclusively foreign markets and they tend to get the bank holidays associated with the country they serve but this is written into peoples employment contract.
