Working at a bank so believe it or not but we have to work on bank holidays. We are getting extra pay and work arranged lunch for us (paid by the employer). Thing is that we have a temp at work who was today told that she was not allowed to have the free food at lunchtime because it was for permanent staff only. The temp has been with us for about 6 months... It may be legal but I felt sorry for the temp and also felt uncomfortable eating lunch as we had lunch at our desks whilst the temp was there.. Awful. I think I may just try to get annual leave next bank holiday. Don't think the extra pay is worth it in the end. Just out of interest, do temps not have similar entitlement as permanent staff when it comes down to having to work bank holidays... Can't immagine giving my free time up for nothing.
