DLR: Royal Wedding Bank Holiday
Submitted by Janine on 19 July, 2011 - 15:36
RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note that Serco Docklands implemented a policy that “Employees on trade union contracts will be paid double time if they work on a bank holiday, this applies to both hours and overtime. The bank holiday payments are applied from 12 midnight at the start of the day to midnight at the end of the day. If an employee is rostered to work on a bank holiday or if it is their rostered rest day they will accrue a lieu day. They may choose to have this paid instead.” We further note our decision of 30 March to seek the views of our DLR branch on this. We note that our Assistant General Secretary reports that the branch has not raised any problems with this, and we therefore close this file.
