Can anyone tell me what the OFFICIAL line os on public holidays. By this, I do not mean "what is your opinion" or "what do most of your mates do".
I need to know where to get hold of something official (if it exists) that says that bank holidays occurring on a Saturday are taken in lieu for individuals who work in jobs where Saturday is a non-working day.
As far as I am aware, a workman, say, who usually works on the Saturday will take the bank holiday saturday off, and hence have a day off when he would normally be working. I am being told that, for example, over Christmas (with Christmas day falling on Sat), there will be no holidays.
If the official line is "at the discretion of the company" then can sb direct me to where they heard/read this.
Cheers
