Whenever the following
holidays land on a Saturday or Sunday, New Year's Day, Canada Day, Christmas
Day, the employer must grant his or her employee a holiday with pay on
the next working day immediately preceding or following the holiday, providing
that the holiday is a provincial requirement. If the statutory holiday
is worked during a regularly scheduled work day then the employee must
receive their regular rate of pay plus time and a half.
* Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday
under the Remembrance Day Act but not under the Employment Standards
Act. Most industries are required to observe Remembrance Day by remaining
closed and ceasing business operations on November 11th.
The Retail Businesses
Closing Act applies to the following holidays: Good Friday, Victoria
Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Sunday**
**
Municipalities can pass by-laws so that stores can remain open on certain
holidays, including Sundays.
In addition
to the federal holidays above, the province recognizes a provincial statutory
holiday called Louis Riel Day. Louis Riel Day, which falls on the
third Monday in February, is not necessarily granted in the case of people
employed in the retail industry. In this case it is the employer's decision
to grant the day off. If the day off is not granted then the employer
must grant another day off in place of Louis Riel Day.
