  • I understand it that the right to opt out on a sunday was made to apease those who objected to sunday trading on religious grounds.

    Personally I can see why your employer is less than impressed with you.

  • apparently anyone can opt out of working on sundays even if they arent religious.
  • maybe but their argument is slightly diminished if they then work sundays when it suits them

    Only in retail and subject to giving three months notice. If they were employed before a certain date (quite a few years back now) then they don't need to give the notice.
