Holidays and overtime

afzaal1988

Hi, one of my friend works for morrisons and its 5 over 7 days.so doesnt always get weekend off.
last month he booked 2 holidays lets say Friday and saturday and monday and tuesady were none working days(same week) but he worked on tuesday(overtime) so in total worked 4 days and was suppose to be paid for 2 holidays.
but they reduced booked holdays to 1 day(eventhough he has confirmation slip which says 2) and only paid him for 4+1 days and left 1 holiday for him to book later on. but holidays year was suppose to end last month aswell so he cant book that holday now and they just refuse to pay him saying you are not suppose to work overtime if you have holidays booked in same week. since they dont just pay for holidays we have to take them cant have both work and also get paid for holidays. but nowhere in handbook(term and conditions) it says that you cant work overtime and not book hoildays.

so my question is simple is there such a law or they are just trying it on?:rotfl:

But surely overtime is what he does in excess of his normal 5 days? He therefore didn't do any overtime just switched his working days for that week.

he worked 4 days plus had 2 holidays and 1 normal day off.
but they are saying he worked 4 days plus 1 holiday and 2 normal days off. they switched his working days obviously.
my question is he booked 2 holidays and still has confirmation slip approved by personnel. but they are only paying him for 1

But if they booked holiday for Tuesday then worked they weren't on holiday?

monday and tuesaday normal 2 days off (but was asked by manager to come for overtime if he wants to,which he did)
friday and saturday 2 holidays (from annaul leave)

does that make any sense now?

Am guessing that his contract says 5 out of 7? Therefore this week he only worked 4 days and therefore only needed to take 1 days holiday. He didn't actually work any overtime as he didn't work in excess of his contracted hours.

yes 5 out of 7. it says in my first post
so bascially they are right they wont pay him for more than 5 day including holidays.
i was thinking that his working days in that week were from wednesday to sunday. so he was hoping if he works on tuesday which was suppose to be his none working day he would get paid for it and also be able to get paid for his hoildays which were on friday and saturday booked couple of months ago.
but what they have done is they changed his none working day to friday from tuesday and paid him for 1 holday on saturday. so he worked on tue wed thu and sun and saturday was his holiday.
are they allowed to do that? holidays were booked for 2 days from friday to saturday not for 1 day. they just do what they feel like. bytheway he occasionally works 6 days but he is contracted for 5 only. if you apply that logic he should have got paid for 4 days for which he worked and 2 days holidays
