I just had a memo from work stating that the Royal wedding on the 29th April is an 'unofficial holiday' and therefore are not entitled to the day off!!

Although reading this from a government web site I think my boss is a lying B4STARD

Basically is the statement 'an unofficial holiday' true? If so then ther aint much I can do, but if not then he's getting Royally shafted!!

 

Only permanent staff are being paid at our place........

 

it is a an official bank holiday tell him you waont be in on the 29th end of !

 

+1 Tell him to touch his toes and kiss his own hairy brown A-Hole

 

It depends on what your contract of employment says. If it says you are entitled to all public or bank holidays then your boss doesn't have a choice. If it names specific public or holidays or says how many you are entitled to, then he is within his rights.

I have worked there for over 10 years!! The thing that's pi55ing me off is that they are trying to cover the fact that they are possibly not legally obliged to give the day off as a holiday, but to say that it is an 'unofficial holiday' to try and get out of it just seams like a blatant lie!!

They could just say, your not getting the holiday because we are not legally obliged to do so, so your not getting it. Yeah totally out of order but truthful nether the less.

I just want to pull them up for lying to get them out of giving the holiday!!

 

our lot have to book it off as a holiday day if they want it off....but thats down to bank hols working....its still officially a bank holiday....

 

The 29th is a friday,in alot of buisneses a busy day,times are hard,and everydays trade counts

You would think differently if you were the employer

 

and

Unlucky, but he is being a *******!

Geezer

 

I would rather work for nothing than watch the media crap of some boring wedding- who gives a fu3k?

 

Totally agree.

 

No one does, but it'll be one of the few extra bank holidays we'll get in our lifetime.

 

Yeah totally agree, I am not interested in the wedding, and I know that businesses are feeling the pinch, my main point being that they are stating that the holiday is 'UNOFFICIAL' which I don't think is a correct statement to issue in a company memo!!

 

what you want to do is book the 26th 27th 28th of April off -- 3 days and you get nearly two weeks of - get in

 

My contract states i get off xmas day and fek all else, all other bank holidays will be included in my holiday entitlement.....so its perfection then, i dont get a forced **** day off watching a horse faced german with thinning hair marry some bint from a tiny village, i get to take the day when I want.....a right touch

 

There's another one next year on for the Queen's diamond jubilee.

 

Well I'm an avid Royalist and I can't wait to spend the afternoon in front of the telly watching the loved up Royal! I've taken the time off inbetween Easter so now have 11 days off including weekends.





.........Ok, so I might go out on my bike that day!

 

It's a Bank Holiday so if your leave allowance is x days + BH's then you're AOK

TX.

PS

I predict that you may be ill on that day ...

 

Can't see the justification for making it a bank holiday anyway.

All im interested in is checking out Kates bangers on tele and having a few beers in the same time in the pub.

 

Government trying to cheer us up with an extra day off work

 

Totally agree weddings not my cup of tea ! but on the other hand like said we dont really get enough holidays in the year i personally get 25 days paid plus bank holidays, i work 12 hrs a day 6 days a week ans sometimes am too busy to take time off due to contracts starting and finishing.

So for me bring it on day off paid 7.5 hrs for drinking beer and watching top gear ....get in there !

 

I wonder if we will all get sent a slice of cake..

 

We had a memo stating........

"Nissan Motors UK and the government have decided to allow the wedding day to be a paid holiday"




Ohhhhh how nice of NMUK to allow us to have a day off

 

Back on the track Micky?
