Part-time hours condensed due to bank holiday

Anna

Hello!

I have an employee who works 30hrs per week (Mon - Fri).  

Due to the bank holiday, we closed the business on Monday and she was expected to work her 30hrs in the remaining 4 days of the week.

All other employees are full-time and can't squash their 40hrs into 4 days and therefore haven't.

Is this lawful in ROI?

Thanks!

  • Clearly it's not fair, and it's not lawful.

    I'm interested in what the thinking was that said this was the right way to treat the employee in the first place? If she didn't work on Mondays I can see that an unintended error could have occurred - but to deliberately say that she doesn't get the bank holiday entitlement, and not only that but she then has to vary her work pattern because the office was closed for one of the days (so that everyone else could have a holiday) seems like a poor way to treat anyone.
