ccm Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Funny one this. Is every employee in the Isle of Man entitled to a day off for Tynwald celebrations? Those who have to work must they either be paid extra or get time off in lieu? If an employee is given the day off must they get paid or can their employer close the business for the day and not pay staff? Anyone know for certain what the employment law is regarding this or is it all down to what is stipulated in the contract between employee/employer?

sarahc Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I'm on a daily rate. I don't work, I don't get paid. I'm not working tomorrow, I'm not getting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I work Tynwald Day. No days in Lieu. No extra pay. Same goes for Senior Race Day. 98% of our clients are UK based and it's in my contract to work Manx Bank Holidays. If you sign it, I don't think you can do much about it.

WilDDog Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Is every employee in the Isle of Man entitled to a day off for Tynwald celebrations? I think most Government employees are entitled to the day off. Oh but hang on a sec, does this mean that our MHKs get paid double time when attending Tynwald. I mean they are entitled to the day off and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think Slinks said it all. It depends what your Contract of Employment say's. It's a Public Holiday and you're usually paid for the day off but if you have to work it, it's usually as Double Time. If Tynwald Day falls on a Saturday or Suday, it's then moved to the following Monday, so the same would apply. That's how I pay my staff. As I own the company, i get sod all, but a day out with the kids is well worth it and it is a special day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 We all get the day off at our place, paid, as one of our 10 public holidays. And rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Tynwald day cannot by law be on a Sunday - it will be moved to the Monday though I recall Mec Vannin wanting it still to be held on the Sunday - It can however still take place on a Saturday (possibly you may then give the holiday on the following Monday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I get the day off, paid. However, I am travelling on business Sunday evening for a meeting on Monday, without any extra pay or time off in lieu, so its swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I get Tynwald day and Senior Day off, it's a public holiday. I worked in Bayern and had even more days off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I've had it off several times, though I have never been paid for it. Other people that worked for me have had it off and I ended up having to pay them for having it off. It must be great when someone else pays you for having it off. I suppose the best situation is to have it off whether you are being paid for it or not. _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think I should be paid when I don't have it off! Seems fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
