Let's say you are a subscriber to mtn and you dial 180 on a public holiday, a call centre agent picks and attends to your complaints, will you still report the company that hired the agent for not observing the public holiday?

You should understand that there are some jobs that require Manning all day round. When you applied for the job position and the interviewer asked you "do you have any questions?" Why didnt you put up such question to know their modus operandi?

By Labour law, they’re made to obey it.

Else there will be an extra allowance for that.

Most companies or institutions or organizations can’t afford to close activities cos of public holidays.


Just obey the rules of what guilds you

Bro, although holiday is good but remember companies are set up to make profits and not charity organization. as long as they allow you celebrate Easter, new year, eid etc biko all other public holidays should be decided by the companies. country ain't smiling and private owned companies are struggling to pay their workers as and when due.
see it as you work in hospital, nothing like public holiday

The working conditions should be stated in the appointment letter. Were u not given one? If the holiday work/duty isn't stated in your offer letter, then u could question it. Better still, if you lay your hands on a better job, simply quit. But if u comfortable with this one,just man up & endure its inconveniences.

Hi, i stumbled on your post and felt the need to opine. Yes, there are agencies that can take up such matters headon but before you initiate such steps, you need ask to ask yourself whether you were informed of such possibilities during your interview and most importantly, you must have gotten a new job or have saved enough money to manage while you search for a new job. Goodluck.
