My better half has to work on almost every holiday. But so do most people who work in the hospitality industries unless they are in administration/accounts. If in the front lines well somebody has to do it. Will be moreso once the IR's are built.

Me too for this week
The good thing is I can take a day off on my b'day, the mark of the end of my toddlerhood!

Actually not really a happy event, when the cold reality kicks in, doh!

I'd rather work on public holidays and encash it later

If you work in the Hospitality Industry there is nothing to encash. It's part and parcel of your employment contract. You will get a day off in lieu and that's all.
