Dear Members,
We have received queries from you on how Saturday December 26th (Boxing Day) should be treated since the holiday has been assigned to Monday December 28th. Please find response below from the Labour Commissioner, Ms. Anne Marie Thompson.
“The 26th December 2020 is not a Bank nor a Public holiday for the purposes of Section 117(3) of the Labour and Act. Employees. Employers are required to pay employees their normal rate of pay for any work done on the 26th December 2020. This is the case unless there is a contractual agreement between employer and employee, for a higher rate to be paid notwithstanding the fact that the 28th December 2020 shall be a Bank and Public Holiday in lieu of the 26th December 2020.”
Thank you,
Anne Marie
