The Chamber of Commerce has written to States Members to urge them not to take the ‘easy option’ of giving people the day off when the matter goes to the States this week.
As things stand, Islanders will lose a day of holiday this year because Liberation Day – 9 May – falls on a Sunday.
Earlier this month, the States voted 27 to 22 to reject giving workers an extra day off on the following Monday.
This week the States will debate a proposal from Deputy Montfort Tadier to give Islanders the day off on the Friday at the start of the weekend instead.
