agree a bit with this in the warrington and salford game micky mac has been strugling to get back in to dummy half, first full season playing 80 mins every game, hopefully when tommys back we can alternate either smith or tommy at hooker to give him some help. otherwise for me where just trying to do to much to far away from the line as i don t think our props have been gaining as much yardage in the second half of the season.

Sorry to all, my mistake the bank holiday is included in your statutory right rather than actually being the day off on that day.

It's not a "statutory right". See the government's official page: www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/ ... /DG_073741 Quote You don't have an automatic right to paid leave on bank and public holidays, though many people receive the day off work. Any right to time off or extra pay for working on a bank holiday depends on the terms of your contract of employment.'" and also here: www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/ ... G_10029788 Quote You do not have a statutory right to paid leave on bank and public holidays. If your employer gives paid leave on a bank or public holiday, this can count towards your minimum holiday entitlement. There are eight permanent bank and public holidays in England and Wales (nine in Scotland and ten in Northern Ireland). If you work on a bank or public holiday, there is no automatic right to an enhanced pay rate. What you get paid depends on your contract of employment.'"

I think you are getting mixed up in the right to leave, and the right to 'paid leave'. There is a difference.

Not sure who you are replying to there, TheSurgeon?

I was responding to claims that bank holidays were a statutory right to holidays (either paid or unpaid). The official government and therefore legal line is that there is no statutory right to paid or unpaid leave and that it is all down to your terms of employment, as defined by your personal contract. This is clearly on an individual basis - there is no "statutory" (i.e defined by statute, or "legally"icon_wink.gif right either way.

There's not even a "right to leave" defined legally as a general issue - it's all down to your personal contract of employment.

After today it seems like they are mentally "exhausted" or just not switched on for the full 80, really disappointed at the current standard of play considering it's at the business end of the season and going back a few months we was the hottest team in the competition for a long period of time.
