i get paid a daily rate every 4th Friday so i guess i cannot loose

no one is loosing out, you gain anyway in Febuary

If you get hourly paid, you get paid per hour you work over 5 days!

If you are four weekly paid, you get paid for four weeks @ 5 days per week!

and if your monthly paid you get paid the same as if its a full month so actually you are gaining as you get paid the same as a month with more days in it.

Similar, but slight tangent, I used to work nights, I'd do my 40 hour week in 4 10 hour shifts Mon-Thurs, where the day staff works 5 days. When it came around to Good Friday I questioned getting the time off, since techincally I didn't work Fridays - I managed to convince my boss to give me and the night team a good Thursday!

That should be automatic anyway, if you're day off is a public bank holiday you are still entitled to recieve a day in lieu of the bank holiday. It can be stated by the company you work for what day you take in lieu but it is still owed to you if in your contract it says that you are entitled to so many days holiday, plus so many days public holidays.

No, I just think that common sense has to come into it somewhere!

i work a 3 day week(12 hours a day) and when i started was told that i would get a fixed weekly wage, my firm times my weekly wage by 52(weeks) and then divides it by 12(months) this would be fine if a year was only 52 weeks long, but its not it is 52 weeks and 1 day, and on a leap year 52weeks and 2 days.

so therefore i am ripped of 2 days this year and 1 day on a normal year

Get your own back .... systematically skive for about 2 minutes a day over the year.

2 minutes/day x 237 working days a year = 7.9 hours.

dont think skiving is really an answer, i am still at work being unpaid:

7.9 hours is less than a third of what i would be working extra, after holidays i will only be working 135 days,

On a similar tack, I've always wondered about people who are working the nights the clocks go forwards or back (I know there won't be many as it's a Saturday night)How do they feel about working an extra hour for nothing (or gaining a free hour - unless the person doing work rosters always manages to even it out :-))

I get paid per annum but no extra day's pay. It's never bothered me.

Good question, though I think.

Here's another one, Christmas day.

The only days that we recieved double pay (no lieu time- this is pub land btw) were Christmas day and New Year's Day.

As I had worked Christmas eve and didn't finish until 2am , I argued that for 2 hours I should have had double pay. Company said no, as Christmas day doesn't start until ALL the pubs close, which was 3am!!! You know, I was pretty sure that there was 24 hours in Christmas day....

I really wish that I had brought this to tribunal- would have been a fun one to argue out.
