March 30th Holiday(s)

Postby Coppershot » March 21st, 2018, 8:04 am

Why can't we get Thursday 29th as a holiday, since Friday 30th is both Spiritual Shouter Baptist Day and Good Friday?
I want to partake in both celebrations but one day is impossible to enjoy festivities. :lying:

Because Saturday is actually a working day in the calendar.

According to the Public Holidays and Festivals Act Chapter 19:05 Act 10 of 1972, amended by 104/2002 its states that a public holiday means a close holiday in banks and public offices in Trinidad and Tobago.

Section 3(2) of the Act states that "Where a public holiday falls on a Sunday or where two holidays fall on the same day, the next follwing day that (apart from this subsection) is not a public holiday shall be a public holiday".

By that definition yes Saturday will be an official public holiday.

This brings to question as to why isn't Carnival Monday and Tuesday considered Public Holidays as Public Offices and Banks are not opened on those day.

yeah they should make it Public Holidays too - otherwise employers could take it out of your leave and say well is not ah holiday

There would probably be over time implications in making those two days official public holidays.
