in today's video I want to take a look at public holidays in Ireland what are
the employees entitlements and what are the employers obligations in respect of
public holidays they can be a source of annoyance and a source of claims as well
between employers are between employees and employers let's take a look firstly
you need to understand that there are nine public holidays in Ireland you can
see them there on the screen so you're talking about New Year's Day st.
Patrick's Day Easter Monday the fourth Monday in May June and August the last
Monday in October Christmas Day and st. Stephen's Day
they are the nine public holidays in Ireland there's two things you need to
understand about this number one Good Friday is not on the list and it's not a
public holiday and number two Easter Monday is the one public holiday that
actually changes days from year to year so there the nine public holiday is the
basis of the entitlements under or for public holidays in respect of public
holidays it's sent out in the organisation of working time act 1997 so
the benefits for an employee for a public holiday are choices or an
employer rather has a choice he can give a paid day off on the public holiday he
can give an additional day of annual leave he can give an additional day's
pay or a paid day off within a month of the public holiday there's also a
statutory instrument for 75 of 1997 which sets out how you actually
calculate the pay for holidays for the public holiday entitlement if there's a
dispute about this - may be a calculation to be done in respect of
part-time employees part-time employees then the situation is this if you've
worked for your employer for at least 40 hours in the five weeks before the
public holiday and the public holiday falls on a day that you'd normally work
you are entitled to a day's pay for the public holiday if you're required to
work that day then you are entitled to an additional day's pay
if you do not normally work on that particular day you should receive 1/5 of
your weekly pay even if you're never Ruster to work on a public holiday you
are entitled to 1/5 of your weekly pay as compensation for the public holiday
so it's important to recognize that there's no service requirement in
respect of public holidays in other words you don't have to be working in a
place for six months or nine months or 12 months and you have an entitlement to
a public holiday provided you worked at least 40 hours in the five weeks before
the public holiday it's important to note as well that the employer has a
choice to give you time off paid time off instead of pay for the public
holiday that's up to the employer in relation to sick leave and being out
absent due to illness on a public holiday if you're a full-time worker on
sick leave during a public holiday you are entitled to benefit for the public
holiday that you missed a part-time worker your title to benefit for the
public holiday provided you worked for your employer for at least 40 hours in
the previous five waiting period however if you've been off work for more than 26
consecutive weeks due to illness or accident or more than 52 weeks due to an
occupational accident and you're absent from work immediately before the public
holiday because of this you're not entitled to the public holiday benefit
certain stats relieved and means that any public holidays that our core
inquire on this particular statute relief you're still entitled to the
benefit of the public holiday those stats relief acts are the maternity
leaves return parental leave paternity leave an adoptive leave so if you are on
any of these for statutory leaves whilst public holiday comes up you are entitled
to the public holiday benefits if a public holiday falls on a day which is
not a normal working day for that business for example on a Saturday or
Sunday if you work for example in an officer and a solicitors or an
accountants or some place you're still entitled to benefit for
that public holiday and in relation then to public holidays and losing your job
if your employment finishes during the week ending on the day before public
holiday and you've worked for your employer for the previous four weeks you
should receive an additional day's pay for the public holiday it is also a
place to party employees who have established a race to the public holiday
by working at these forty hours in the previous five weeks they are my details
of the screen I am a solicitor in Enfield in County Meath and I forgot to
mention there any disputes in relation to public holidays or public holiday
entitlements need to be referred in the first instance to the WRC that's the
workplace relations commission and if you liked the video if you find it
