My job has me working on Sundays from 8 to 5. Is this a sin? Should I be asking for a day off that day?
 
What do you think firemen and policemen do when their job shift includes Sundays??? Also what about doctors and nurses – their job shift must include Sundays – people get sick every day.
 
It probably depends on the situation. What sort of job is it? Is it a job that it is necessary on a Sunday such as a policeman or a bus driver? Or is it like in a retail store that could easily be closed on Sunday and is only open in order to make more of a profit? Also, is it possible for you to be off on Sunday, or would you lose the job if you couldn’t work that day?
 
My husband’s office job occasionally required him to go to the office on Sunday, but he still NEVER EVER missed mass.

Now that he’s been there for some years, he can schedule his work so that if weekend hours are required, he has them scheduled for Saturday only.
 
I work at a grocery store in the delhi, so I wouldn’t deem it as important as a police officer or any of the other things you guys mentioned. However, on the weekends most of the people there are off. So if I asked for a day off then, I’d just be taking someone else’s day off.

I am not sure what you are asking:
  1. Is it a Sin for your boss to assign you to work on a Sunday? or
  2. Is it a Sin for a person to work on a Sunday?
Why did you take this Job that requires you to work on Sundays?
It seems like you should have worried about its Sin-status BEFORE you agreed to take it (unless you just heard someone talking about it)…

Beyond that, why do you suspect that working on Sundays COULD ever be a Sin?
I ask this because I have never heard any such thing before (that is, except for certain Religious Jews, but they don’t work from Sunset on Friday, to Sunset on Saturday).
