St Patrick’s Day

I have a query re St Patrick’s Day. My uncle works self employed as security. The place he works in has security 24/7. With St Patrick’s Day being on a Sunday and normal office workers getting Monday in lieu my query is who would be entitled to the double pay for St Patrick’s day - the people working Sunday or Monday?

Hmmm. Does he actually have a limited company and he bills the employer for his services?

I feel like they should have already agreed bank holiday and weekend payments in the contract.

But if he's treated as a normal employee, he's entitled to one of the following (chosen by the employer):

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

For days like Paddy's or Christmas it is the actual day that counts, so its those working the Sunday this year that should benefit

Edit: to be clear - it is the Sunday that is actually the public holiday

So... if he works 8 x Hrs on the Sunday 17th.... does he have the following options

1. Work it and get paid normal rates + take a day for it later
2. Work it and get paid Double. (no day off later for it)

if he works on Sunday he will get paid whatever rates his employer pays for a public holiday

and if he qualifies for public holiday benefit then he will also get the same as anyone else - i.e. a paid day off
