payment

[gadlys]

Are my employers legally obliged to pay extra monies
to me for working christmas day?
If not where can i find this piece of legislation?

[dzug]

No they are not. It's probably actually legal to pay you LESS.

Most decent employers do pay extra though.

[Ethel]

No, you are not entitled to extra pay for working bank holidays unless it says differently in your contract of employment.

If you are employed in a shop over 280 square feet you cannot work Christmas Day - that is the only exception that I am aware of.
