Easter Sunday - have you been asked to work? OPINION: Last year, the Government gave 67 territorial authorities the power to allow, limit or ban shop trading on Easter Sunday in their districts. Where shops are allowed to open, their employees cannot be required to work on Easter Sunday and employers intending to open must notify employees, in writing, of their right to refuse to work. The employee then has 14 days to notify the employer if he or she refuses to work on Easter Sunday. Employers cannot compel their shop employees to work that day or treat them adversely for refusing to work.
