SPARE A THOUGHT FOR WORKERS Isle of Man Online
'There's a mixed picture for Christmas workers,' said Mr Moffatt. 'Public sector workers tend to have very formalised terms and conditions and those allow for enhanced payments for Christmas working.
'But also, more importantly, they ensure that people do get Christmases off or there's a work/leave balance which ensures that people required to work Christmas are not required to work New Year or other holidays.'
'The private sector's much more unclear. I would say certainly in some of the service sectors there's scope for exploitation of workers at Christmas and, as we all merrily enjoy longer opening hours, we might sometimes dwell on the thought that the people who are required to provide this service for us aren't always properly remunerated.------------------------------------------- posted 8:26 AM :: reference link ::
