Is good friday a statutory bank holiday … ie should you get paid double if you work it?

I work tuesday to saturday with sunday and monday off so I dont even benefit from the bank holiday monday. Working friday, working saturday, sunday off, monday off with no time off in leu cos i dont work mondays anyway. Might get a cadbury cream egg if I get back early enough.

There is no legal entitlement to either paid time off or enhanced rates of pay or time off in lieu for bank holidays. What you get is entirely dependent on your contract.

LASHHGV:
No I work thurs to mon every week. Good Friday start time lunchtime. The treble pay (or 2 days off extra or double time and one day off) lasts till midnight. It will be the same on Monday as well. This is a staff not not agency. My treble time will be about £29 ish an hour plus a pound or two an hour shift allowance and a couple of quid tax free meal allowance.
