The Easter bank holiday weekend is fast approaching as many look forward to the long weekend.
Each year there is some confusion around how the bank holiday around Easter falls and when employees are due to be paid the higher rate for working a public holiday. Many think that Good Friday - which falls on April 7 this year - is a bank holiday.
However, it is not considered one in Ireland. Despite the fact that banks are closed on Friday as well as many businesses, those who are scheduled to work won’t be entitled to Public Holiday pay for this day.
