Shops Close For Four Days At Christmas
... One'of the things which is most likely to give the housewife a headadhe over the Christmas and New Year holiday period is the four-day closing of shops. Many, however, will have gained valuable experience last year when there were long holidays both at Christmas ahd the New Year, and will. have their own ideas on how to provide fresh meat and bread until the shops re-open. Christmas Eve this year will be observed on Friday, December 23, and the shops will not re-opeh until the following Wcdnesday morning. There will be a similar holiday break over New Year. When Christmas or New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, provision is made in the Public Holidays Act and in most awards for the holiday to be observed on the .following Monday and Boxing ' Day on the Tuesday. Although the legislation .regarding holidays is rather complicated these provisions generally will apply to most workers. Some will have their January 2 holiday transferred to Tuesday, January 3. January 2 is not a soatatory holiday, but is defined as a holiday in the majority of awards.
