thats good that its recognised like that...We all got double paid for working on St Patricks Day
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
I am not sure if it legally obliged to pay your staff 200% that day, but my employer did. The boss sent an email around saying that who would show up at Paddy Day would get double salary that day. Worked well, as we were not extremely understaffed.
Mainly the foreigners who never seen it before requested holidays ; I have seen the Paddy Day hype last year already and didn't bother requesting a day off this time. Must admit though: I was a bit afraid of sectarian riots at the parade, which also played part in my decision to go working instead. But as far as I know no incidents were reported.
