With the Easter bank holiday just around the corner, many people around Ireland are looking forward to a long weekend off of work.
Even though it comes around every year, there can often be confusion around when the Easter bank holiday falls, and when workers are due to get a higher rate of pay for taking a public holiday shift.
Many people think that Good Friday, which occurs on April 7 this year, is a bank holiday. However, in Ireland, this is not a holiday. Even though so many businesses are closed on Good Friday, those who are scheduled to work on the day won’t be entitled to public holiday pay.
