    ASDA bank holidays and pay...
    I've been there for a year and still have no idea how the hell the top up fees holidays work.

    Also how many bank holidays do you need to work and if you are contracted do you HAVE to work them? Ie especially last fri for the Royal Wedding...

    I hate working there but need the money!

    You only need to work two. Plus they can't make you work them if you have worked the two.

    Does overtime count?

    Should do. Can't see why it can't. I'm not contracted to a Monday, but if they put me in for the next bank holiday and I didn't want to do it I would just tell them I was unable to do it.

    I got told the "rules had changed" regarding the holidays last week. Basically the managers lied. Told us we HAD to work, yet they and their favourites were absent...
