Bank Holiday's and Pay

Is it a legal requirement to get paid extra bank holidays? The place where I work refuses to pay you extra, but I thought that you have to get paid extra on bank holidays?

Anyone know who I contact to find out?

Firstly, you do not need an apostrophe in holidays :mad:

Secondly, I doubt it is a legal requirement...! I won't be getting any extra pay for the bank holiday either :frown:

Actually its not a requirement for new years day but new years eve you are required to have some sort of bonus pay. It most certainly isnt a legal requiremnet to get extra pay on bank holidays and that you will need to look at your contract to see what your entitled to.

My boyf works in a pub and gets no extra pay on bank holidays and gets an extra 25 quid for xmas and new years eve. However I get overtime.
