Im new to Ireland so im not sure if this is normal, but my new employer who runs an entirely family-ran buisness (I am the only non-family member worker there) said since I'm part-time (24/hrs a week), I'm not entitled to any paid annual, sick, or public holidays. He said for a public holiday, I would be scheduled for the next day after and get a 20% increase to my hourly rate.

This does not sound right at all, but like I said, I'm new to the country so maybe this is normal? Any help is appreciated

Edit: Seems like Im being taken for a fool. Im not really sure how to approach this situation but I've applied to join a union and will probably do some more research on my rights. Thanks everyone this info has really helped!
