This is written in contract
If your contract explicitly states that you will receive an extra day's wages for working on a bank holiday, then you should be paid that extra amount. Here are some factors that could influence this:
- Employment Contract: Check if it specifies additional pay for bank holidays.
- Local Labor Laws: Some jurisdictions mandate extra pay for holidays.
Do you have a copy of your employment contract to review this clause?
No, it say you will be paid as normal
If your contract states you will be paid as normal, then it implies no extra pay beyond your usual salary. However, you are entitled to a day off at a later date.
Is there any other clause in your contract regarding holiday pay?
If it is written at double time, what does it mean as a salaried?
"Double time" usually means that you will be paid twice your regular hourly rate for the hours worked on that day. For a salaried employee, this might mean an additional payment equivalent to one extra day's wages.
Could you clarify if "double time" is explicitly mentioned in your contract for bank holidays?
Yes, but my wages are paid at a regular rate, double time doesnt mean double the rate for the * hours?

Is there a specific clause detailing how double time is calculated for salaried employees in your contract?
What is “at double time” for a salaried employee
"Double time" for a salaried employee generally means that you will be paid twice your regular hourly rate for the hours worked on that day. In other words, if you work * hours on a bank holiday, you should receive an additional day's wages for that period.
Does your contract provide any specific details on how "double time" is calculated for salaried employees?
No, no oher details.
If your contract mentions "double time" for bank holidays but lacks specific details, it typically means:
- You should be paid twice your regular hourly rate for those hours worked.
- For an *-hour bank holiday, you'd receive an additional day's wages.
You might want to consult an employment lawyer for clarification. Would you like more information on how to find one?
Yes so if my rate is *£ per hour, should I receive *£ or *£?
If your rate is £* per hour and you work * hours on a bank holiday at double time, you should receive an additional * hours' pay at double the rate.
- Regular pay: £* x * hours = £*
- Double time pay: £* x * hours = £*
So, you should receive £* for that day.
