There is still a lot of confusion on whether businesses will be allowed to open for normal operations on Saturday as there are differing views on the matter.
The government has said in a statement this morning that Saturday December 25th which is Christmas Day is not a working day after concerns that some employers may insist that their workers clock in on Saturday which is Christmas Day because of the public holiday that follows on Monday, the week after.
The Indian Division of the Methodist Church of Fiji also alleged that some employers have given their workers an ultimatum that if they do not show up at work on Saturday, they will not be paid for the two public holidays on Monday and Tuesday.
Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation CEO Nezbit Hazelman confirmed to Fijivillage that retailers have agreed to open for business on Saturday but for limited hours as December 25th is not a gazetted public holiday.
