Employers who turn down the heating even though there are still staff working, take home presents sent in for staff or refuse to allow the decorations to go up are just a few examples uncovered by the TUC today (Wednesday) suggesting that many modern day Scrooges are to be found in UK offices and factories.
Last year when the TUC asked the nation's workers to email in their stories of stingy bosses at Christmas, the most common complaints were about mean employers who forced staff who would normally be in work on the day on which Christmas Day falls, either to lose pay or make up the time at a later date.
Equally common were gripes from staff whose penny pinching employers made them use a day from their statutory annual leave to cover the days off over the festive break. But thankfully, says the TUC, this could be the last year that employees have to take the Christmas bank holidays from their annual leave.
