Hi, I have been working in the same call centre for 20 years, after returning from maternity 2 years ago I moved to a department that I unknowingly works bank holidays. But never in my 20 years working there have they been open Christmas day. This year my department is the only department that has decided to be open on Christmas day and asked for volunteers. We do underwriting for phone and online applications. I was told yesterday that they may decide next year to open and only offer limited holidays out to staff. Never in a million years would I have thought my company would choose to open Christmas day and would not choose to work somewhere that did. With 2 young children, I don't want to work this day. Does anyone else know if they could enforce this. I know Christmas 2017 is sometime away but I would seriously consider changing jobs if the possibility of having to work Christmas day was hanging over me.
