    Working part time and public holidays

    Hi, I am presently working full time but in a couple of months I am going to be working part time, 3 days a week. Can anyone confirm if I will be entitled to public holidays still (not statuary holidays as I know I will still receive these), as it has been suggested I won’t?

    Thanks in advance

    Actually no one is entitled to public holidays, that is at the discretion of your employer. Many people, especially those working for manufacturing companies, don't get any public holidays.

    Also people in the service industry dont get public holidays, only the Statuary holidays. So the answer to your question is NO
