I'm self employed but the person I work for and invoice want me in on New Years Day does anybody know how you go about knowing if you get bank holiday rate if your self employed?

Or is it up to the place I work for if Iget it or not?

I invoice at basic £6.31 rate at the moment but the thought of going in on NY day for this rate makes me want to weep

You are not legally entitled to anything extra for working bank holidays, self employed or not.

However, as you are self employed, can you not tell them that you will "invoice" them at £12.61 an hour, as it's new years day?

If you are SE then you can agree to work BH's but like lottie says, just tell them in advance that you double charge for this. If they want you in, they'll pay.
Or they will find someone else to do it instead. Is it with an agency?

We finish on the 20th of December and only return to work on 6 January. (Didn't have to take leave for it either).

Hoping to finish 20th through to the 6th. Phone on divert to home, so may get the odd call on the 23rd Dec and 2nd, 3rd of Jan, but maybe not:D. Apart from a few odd days, it'll be the first holiday of the year - woohoo!
