Exactly. There goes the incentive for the industries affected to work weekends.
I know that I'd be likely to drop my Sunday shift when this comes into effect.
On the contrary, I think this will be great for small business trading and will allow them to trade on weekends at a lower cost.
If you think retailers will not find workers who will accept 1.5 times usual rate for a Sunday think again.
I've never really worked weekends but I've never understood why you should get paid more to do so. I understand the impact to social and family situations, but that's the choice made when you go into retail surely.
