Xmas perks | Which retailer is giving staff a DOUBLE Christmas?

For most employees, the Christmas period is one that they look forward to as it is a genuine period of down time for them to be able to switch off and relax.

However, for those in retail it can be the most stressful. Extended hours, busy shifts and last-minute requests can dominate the Christmas period.

Yet, Aldi, the popular German discounter, has decided to remain shut on Boxing Day as well as Christmas Day to give workers double the rest they might traditionally get working in the retail sector.

This isn’t the first time the discounter has closed. One worker took to Facebook to say that they have consistently given staff this time off over the last ten years.
