DOUBLE PUBLIC HOLIDAYS COMING IN DECEMBER

When the Boks won the Rugby World Cup the nation jumped for joy…at the prospect of holding the President to his promise of a new public holiday.

The announcement has been made that the extra public holiday this year will fall on the 15th of December. This falls a day before the existing public holiday on the 16th. This means workers will be treated to a double public holiday weekend this December.

The 15th falls on a Friday and lines up with the end of the work year for many in the construction industry. Workers who work on a public holiday are entitled to double pay or can ask to swap the day for another work day.

Preparing for the holiday buzz this December?

As the festive season approaches, people tend to dive into shopping and celebrations. With early December salaries and bonuses altering spending habits, engaging consumers during this festive period becomes pivotal.

Debt Counsellors play a crucial role in educating consumers about wise financial choices during the holidays and the importance of not reversing your debit orders.

Encourage consumers to manage spending wisely and maintain timely debt repayments.

As we push through the final stretch of the year, let these words inspire you:

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." – Albert Schweitzer.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication within the debt review industry.

Wishing you a joyous festive season filled with laughter, love, and well-deserved moments of relaxation. As we usher in the New Year, may it bring fresh opportunities and continued success.

Here’s to a harmonious blend of celebration, safety, and prosperity.
