suzyoo Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 some of our engineers at my firm are working or should i say are being made to work christmas day for simgle time and are having to do a full shift , also im working new years day for single pay aswell , has britain gone back a step to the caveman era? we should be able to refuse to work on a christmas holiday if were christians , us engineers have to work because the far land people have decided to come in and work they dont celibrate chrismas , this is never right:mad::mad: I guess it depends on what it says in your contract, do you get paid annual hours / equalized pay ? if so your holiday pay is built in your monthly pay. still its a shame that people lose these special days, but now with sunday trading and the like these are the only extra days for firms to gain extra income.

anywebsite Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 There are a lot of people that have to work over Christmas, to provide essential services, like pubs & hospitals. Have an extra drink for them over Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagel Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I work Christmas and other bank holidays about 50% of the time. It's the luck of the draw and this year it looks like I get both Christmas and New Year off. I don't get paid any extra for working during bank holidays or weekends, it's just part of the job. My workplace operates 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I guess we reap what we sow, but look in the bright side, at least sad lonely people can go shopping on Christmas day and buy a pint of milk from the supermarket They'll be wasting their time if they go to Tesco; closed Christmas day and Boxing day.
