In accordance with section 4 (a) of the Public Holiday’s Act, His Excellency the Governor General has signed an Order designating Monday, 28th December, 2009 as the Boxing Day Holiday. Consequently, Saturday, 26th December, 2009 will be observed as a normal day for those businesses and agencies that usually open during this time.
Further, shops wishing to do so, may open for business on Monday, 28th December, 2009, the day observed as Boxing Day, and Friday, 1st January, 2010, New Year’s Day, during normal operating hours.
As a result, businesses are reminded of the provisions of section 10 of the Employment Act, as it relates to the payment of wages for those employees who are normally not required to work on a public holiday.
