Time off work for religious festivals

Should your employer give you the day off for religious festivals?

Should your employer give you the day off for religious festivals? Qasa is asking this as Muslims celebrate Eid this week and wants to know whether people should get time off work or use annual leave for Diwali, Vaisakhi and other religious celebrations. After that we’ll be hearing from journalist Hussein Kesvani about his new book ‘Follow me Akhi’, which looks at how some British Muslims are using their online presence to determine their religious identity. Then Qasa is joined by former Indian cricketer, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, and Bangladesh cricket fan, Tasmia Tahia, to discuss the latest from the ICC Cricket World Cup. Plus, we’ll be speaking to comedians Ashley Blaker, an orthodox Jew, and Imran Yusuf, a Muslim, about their show ‘Prophet Sharing.’
