In Ireland, employees scheduled to work on a Bank Holiday are entitled to an additional day’s pay under statutory employment law. There are ten recognised Bank Holidays annually, including New Year’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Christmas Day. Employees working on these days receive double pay – their standard daily rate plus an extra day’s pay. Even if employees do not work on the Bank Holiday, they are still entitled to receive their normal daily pay. Part-time employees who don’t typically work on the day a Bank Holiday falls may still receive one-fifth of their weekly wage. Proper calculation of entitlements ensures compliance with Irish legislation.
