Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to advise on a problem I am having with my employer.
My employer has done bit of a booboo by requesting our team to work on a bank holiday for a payment in lieu. As this meant sacrificing one statutory annual leave day, I understand it was not legal for them to do this under the working time regulations of 2009.
Having now discovered their mistake, the employer is offering us the day off in lieu instead and they are asking us to return the money already paid for the work.
While this of course sounds rather logical, I was wondering whether it is quite reasonable for them to ask us to pay back money, which is now of course already spent. Ultimately this was a mistake from the employer?s part, so should we really have to be penalised for it?
