Asda awards workers extra paid day off for King's Coronation but they must volunteer with charity

Asda staff who are paid by the hour will be given the option to take an extra paid day off for the King's official Coronation next month, but in-turn, they must volunteer for a charity cause.

The Walmart counterpart has announced that staff who are scheduled to work May 8 can request a paid day off, in order to help participate in the Big Help Out.

The campaign is a national day dedicated to volunteering to mark the Coronation, with more than 1,500 charities supporting the nationwide scheme.
