Boxing Day is the 26th Dec, the day after Christmas Day.
The whole country understand Boxing Day is the 2nd day of the Christmas holidays, the day after Christmas Day. Time used to visit family. Business use bank holiday rules to shift it to a day of their choice & force people to work. The country take it on the 26th, those forced to work, do another day
Example.
Christmas Day is Sunday 25 Dec 16, & Boxing Day Monday 26 Dec 16 (the day after).
Monday & Tuesday are classed as special days and business use laws for bank holidays to force people to work despite it being part of the Christmas holiday based on business needs
However, demand for staff on bank holidays is much reduced and handfuls of staff are expected to work. As a result while maybe 80% are enjoying bank holiday on 26 as normal, 20% miss family as Boxing Days classed differently
