What is this nonsense? Christmas Day is always 25th December.
Thank you very much. This don’t make no kind of donkey sense. Don’t move Christmas day but just let the Monday and Tuesday a holiday also duhhh . Then by next week they will say they had so many cases on Christmas day and Boxing day. I give up on these reporters and leaders.
What is going to happen in 2022? When Christmas is on a Sunday and Boxing Day is on a Monday.
Words matter. The communication should have been better. This bulletin mainly serves the purpose of calculating pay. Most people are off on the weekend anyway. Its tricky and you just cant please everybody.
