EMPLOYERS' PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS 2012
Our annual research on Christmas working arrangements finds that almost one employer in five will be open or partially open on Christmas Day this year.
As expected, given the nature of the frontline services provided, a high proportion (18.8%) of public-sector organisations will remain open. However, this year, a high proportion (20.9%) of respondents in private-sector services will also operate on at least a limited basis.
Meanwhile, our analysis of pay awards in the private sector during the past year shows slow, steady growth, but they remain firmly below both inflation and pre-recession levels.
