Warehouse at Christmas time

[Deleted User]

Hi

Does anyone know if a warehouse will shut for Christmas Day?
(Maybe more of a garden centre type product business we are talking of where people order to purchase products)
It's just this day as it would fall on my usual shift day ordinarily to work.
I'm pretty sure that it was said Monday's if a bank holiday are considered a 'normal working day' though this was in reference to Easter/Spring which is their considered busiest time and Christmas just didn't come up to my surprise which I'll admit I thought a little odd and I'm wary if I were to be honest especially when there is an urge to recruit quickly, it's not making sense then to have people on paid leave so soon after going through training.

I am going to try and ask tomorrow for clarity but would gratefully hear from anyone in the know perhaps in the mean time as I'd begun to wish I'd asked more about the current job first in many respects. Just trying to work out if now is the best time to change jobs, pro's and con's list really isn't helping much
Thank you for the time x

How could anyone here know? I'm sure it depends on the specific company and how they organise their business.

They should be shut on the 25th regardless of when the bank holiday officially is.

There are many operations which run 24/7 365 days per year, but as has been said, the only people who can answer the specific question are the OP's management.

Thanks for responses.

I've asked the question it has been confirmed as shut down both Christmas day and boxing day and are prepared to pay holiday to even a new starter over this period so a lot to be grateful for.

Decision made.
