I have just been informed by my employer that I will only be paid the normal rate of pay for the 27th December. In my terms and conditions of employment it states that I will be paid double time for Bank Holidays. I am now confused and don't know where I stand. Can anyone help please??

yes it was. Xmas day fell on a sunday, so the bh moved to 27th.
I suppose that if you normally work Sundays and got that off instead then they might be counting that as your bh.

I work on nights on a rota, worked 26th 27th 28th only ended up with 4 hours at double time for the 26th upto midnight. Feel like I've been robbed!

ask them for an explanation.

Yeh, I'm going to. I just needed to go in with a bit of ammunition. Felt a bit of a fool when mentioning it to them the first time. They reacted as though I was stupid or something. Made out it wasn't a bank holiday. Anyway that was the icing on the cake, I'm looking for a new job!

Not working in residential care by any chance???
Good luck on the job hunting.

Print that page out and show it to your boss. Tell him if you don't get the money you're due, you'll see him in an Employment Tribunal.
