Boxing Day

[Mick100]

Any one know if Boxing Day this year is a working day as doesn’t show up as being a bank holiday

[MERLIN681901]

The service update page on the Royal Mail website lists all the local and public holidays.
If Boxing Day is a Saturday Ofcom have agreed it is always a non service day which means if it is your day off you don’t get the day back.
The people app also tells you it’s a non working day.

Life's far too short to worry about needing or wanting a day off & being refused, I just tell them in advance, I will not be in that day using absent without leave

Which is fine if you can afford to loose a full day's pay? I'll tell my mortgage provider and car Ioan co that I'll be under paying them next month as a fancy an extra day off work!!

Pretty sure in the past posties in my office have been threatened with being conducted if they take random days off and so leave a duty uncovered

Find it hard to believe what he says is true..surely he would be done for AWOL.

[Mr Rush]

and so leave a duty uncovered

Ye gods! Another duty uncovered? 20 was acceptable but 21 is just beyond the pale.
