    College and Uni students have.

    Private schools as well.

    WFH over Xmas and New Year. Though may take 2nd and 3rd off because I'm lazy and normally have the full two weeks off.

      Finish Friday but probably won't go in and then go back whenever it is I'm meant to be back. Will probably be so bored that I'll do some WFH and just stick it on the bill...

        My daughter's doing a 10-6 shift on Christmas day. She gets minimum wage (which, as she's not 21 for another 2 weeks, is the princely sum of £5.03 an hour). AFAIK no mention has been made of double or triple time for Christmas. She was OK about it as she presumed she'd rake it in on tips, but they've stuck her on front desk so she'll probably get nothing. She's not best pleased.

          They don't split tips with front desk then? I thought these days tips were always split x ways but who is included in x I don't know the etiquette

            Pretty sure? that working bank holidays is triple time or double time n a day in lieu but maybe not...

            have you googled it?

              hmm i did -- apparently not!

              oh well - although it does depend on what full time staff get....as you cannot discriminate!

                Frau D. is doing a 14-22 shift on both the 25th and 26th so it'll be quite(ish) in our household although she will get more money for it in the way that she is taxed. I might go to the pub actually...
