Hi, it it true that we close on Easter Sunday however we were told that we wouldn't get paid for this day.

Then that's (kind of) your answer. You would normally work Easter Sunday however you are being told you must take holiday on that day (employers can dictate when holiday must be taken).


HOWEVER you should be paid for this day.


And in your initial post you said it was 33 hours - if it was previously 42 and they pay you for this one, I make it 35 left?




The bank holiday thing is a bit misleading - that's why the shop is closed, but doesn't affect how much holiday you have or whether you should be paid for it

Yes - I think it makes sense for 7 hours of my 42 hours holiday to be used for Easter Sunday. Then I have 35 hours left as 'floating' holidays. What I don't understand is that 9 hours have been allocated by my manager to cover bank holidays.

Do you think this could be a miscalculation?

Definitely. Deliberate or accidental though, I couldn't tell you.
