...would you be bothered?
I'm actually not, I'm getting to see the funeral which is the important bit to me.
However many colleagues have the same day off and are now pushing for an extra half day annual leave to make up for it.
It feels a bit unnecessary and grabby to me but I'm in the minority.
Thoughts?
You're being unreasonable - you should get extra leave granted
You're not being unreasonable - everyone should just accept it for what it is and move on
AIBU?
If you don't usually work Monday's and now there's an extra bank holiday...

Nothing has been said to me about the BH. As I mentioned up thread. My colleague's entitlement this year 14 days holiday and 7 days paid bank holiday and the day off whereas I've had 14 days holiday, 3 days paid bank holiday and the other bank holidays off but not paid. So my colleague has 21 days paid holiday because the working pattern is 2.5 days at the beginning of the week and I have had 17 days paid holiday because my working pattern is 2.5 days the end of the week. Is that fair?

@jacostajune when I was full time I got paid for bank holidays. This has really blown my mind 🤯 if I choose not to work Mondays though isn't that my fault?

@Aprilx both work 25 hours a week
Colleague Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning 14 days leave, pro rata bank holidays 3. As bank holidays Monday and Tuesday gets those days off as well. Good Friday and Jubilee Bank Holidays rostered off not paid. Therefore in total this year 21 days off paid.
Me Wednesday pm, Thursday, Friday. 14 days leave, pro rata bank holidays 3 days taken Good Friday, Jubilee Bank Holiday. Other Bank Holidays rostered off but not paid. Therefore in total this year 17 days off paid.
This has been the case for a couple of years when I switched my part time working pattern from 5 mornings to 2 1/2 days. No contract given with regard to the switch.

No, definitely I wouldn't ask for time off in lieu (I work a half day on Monday but even if it was my full day off I wouldn't).
In this instance it is a day off to watch the funeral and reflect if you wish to - you have that opportunity whether you are paid or not.

@jacostajune not what I meant. If it's your legal entitlement then sure. In principle, I don't see why anyone who isn't at work should have an extra day off for what isn't a standard BH but a day given for a specific purpose
