Company Description

Qualified Employees can Be Full Time

Most staff members who qualify are entitled to take these days off work and employment be paid public holiday pay.

Alternatively, the staff member can concur digitally or in writing to deal with the holiday and be paid:

– public vacation pay plus premium spend for all hours worked on the public vacation and not get another day off (called a “substitute” holiday);.
or.

– be paid their routine earnings for all hours dealt with the public vacation and get another alternative holiday for which they must be paid public holiday pay.

Some employees might be needed to deal with a public vacation. (See “Special guidelines for specific industries” later in this Chapter.) While a lot of employees are eligible for the general public vacation entitlement, some workers work in jobs that are not covered by the public holiday arrangements of the Employment Standards Act (ESA). To determine whether a job is covered, or if special rules use, please describe the Guide to work standards special rules and exemptions.

Use the Employment Standards Self-Service Tool to examine compliance with public holidays and other work requirements privileges.

See “Public vacation pay” later in this chapter.

Regular incomes does not include any overtime pay, trip pay, public vacation pay, premium pay, domestic or sexual violence leave pay, termination pay, severance pay or termination of project pay payable to a worker.

While some companies give their staff members a vacation on Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, the very first Monday in August, or Remembrance Day, the company is not required to do so under the ESA.

Performing both covered and exempt work

Some workers perform more than one type of work for an employer. A few of this work might be covered by the public holiday part of the ESA, while another sort of work may be exempt from public vacation protection.

If a worker performs both sort of work, exempt and covered, they are qualified for the public vacation entitlement with respect to a particular public vacation if at least half of the work carried out in the work week of the public holiday is work that is covered.

Rupert works for a taxi business as both a taxi cab chauffeur (work that is exempt from public holiday coverage) and a dispatcher (work that is covered by the public holiday part of the ESA). In the work week that Canada Day fell, at least half of Rupert’s work was as a dispatcher. Because this work is covered by the public vacation part of the ESA, he is eligible for the general public holiday privilege for Canada Day.

Receiving public vacation entitlements

Generally, staff members certify for the general public holiday privilege unless they:

– stop working without sensible cause to work all of their last regularly arranged day of work before the general public vacation or all of their first frequently scheduled day of work after the public holiday (this is called the “Last and First Rule”);.
or.

– stop working without sensible cause to work their entire shift on the general public holiday if they accepted or were needed to work that day.

Note: Most workers who fail to qualify for the general public vacation privilege are still entitled to be paid premium pay for every hour they deal with the holiday.

Qualified staff members can be full time, part-time, long-term or on term agreement. It does not matter how just recently they were hired, or the number of days they worked before the public holiday.

The “last and very first guideline”

The “last frequently scheduled day of work before the general public vacation” and the “first routinely set up day of work after the general public vacation” do not need to be the days right previously and right after the holiday.

For instance, a staff member might not be scheduled to work the day right before or after the vacation. As long as the staff member works all of their last regularly scheduled shift before the vacation and all of the very first one after it, or has sensible cause for not working either of those days, they meet this qualifying requirement.

Reasonable cause

An employee is usually considered to have “reasonable cause” for missing out on work when something beyond their control avoids the staff member from working. Employees are accountable for revealing that they had affordable cause for keeping away from work. If they can do so, they still receive public vacation entitlements.

How the last and first guideline works

Rosie’s routine work week runs from Monday to Thursday. A public vacation falls on a Monday, and Rosie’s work environment shuts down for that day. If Rosie works the entire shift on the Thursday before the holiday and the Tuesday after the holiday, or has reasonable cause for failing to work either of those days, she qualifies to be spent for the vacation.

Example: When a staff member takes a day off

A public vacation falls on a Monday, and Lev’s work environment shuts down for that day. Lev routinely works Monday to Thursday. Lev has actually asked his company for consent to remove the Thursday before the public holiday because he has a personal appointment. His employer agrees. Lev’s last regularly arranged work day before the vacation is now considered to be on the Wednesday.

If Lev works his entire Wednesday shift before the vacation and his whole Tuesday shift after the vacation, or has reasonable cause for not working either of those days, he receives the paid public vacation.

Example: When a staff member leaves early

A public holiday falls on a Friday, and Doris’s workplace is closed for the vacation. Doris normally works from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. However, she wishes to leave at 3 p.m. on the Thursday before the public holiday. The company concurs. Doris’s regularly scheduled shift on the Thursday before the general public holiday is now thought about to be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

. If Doris works from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the following Monday, or has reasonable cause for failing to do so, she is entitled to the paid public vacation.

Example: When a worker is on getaway

Canada Day falls on July 1. George is on getaway from June 25 to July 9. If George works all of his last frequently scheduled shift before his holiday and first frequently scheduled shift after his trip – on June 24 and July 10 – or has affordable cause for stopping working to do so, he will get approved for the paid public vacation.

Example: When an employee is on a leave or layoff

Lydia is on pregnancy leave when the Canada Day holiday happens. If Lydia works her last routinely arranged day of work before her leave, and her first frequently set up day of work after her leave, or has reasonable cause for failing to do so, she will be entitled to the paid public holiday.

Example: When there is no reasonable cause

A public holiday falls on a Monday, and Ellen’s work environment is closed for the holiday. Ellen does not work on her last scheduled day before the holiday, and she does not have reasonable cause for missing out on that day. She receives no spend for the holiday.

Public holiday pay

The quantity of public holiday pay to which an employee is entitled is all of the regular wages made by the worker in the four work weeks before the work week with the public holiday plus all of the trip pay payable to the employee with respect to the 4 work weeks before the work week with the general public holiday, divided by 20.

When to consist of getaway pay in the estimation of public holiday pay

The amount of vacation pay payable to consist of in the computation of public vacation pay depends on whether the worker is on vacation at any time during the 4 work weeks prior to the public vacation, and the way in which the worker is to be paid trip pay. Please describe the Vacation chapter for information on the various ways trip pay can be paid.

Vacation pay payable

If the staff member is to be paid their vacation pay before they take a vacation or on or before the pay day for the duration in which the holiday falls, getaway pay will be included in the computation of public holiday pay if the staff member was on trip throughout that four work week period. If the employee was not on getaway throughout that duration, no holiday pay will be included in the calculation.

If the staff member is to be paid getaway pay with every pay cheque the amount of holiday pay to include in the estimation of public holiday pay will be at least four percent of all of the staff member’s salaries made throughout the four work week duration. (Note that if a worker earns a greater portion of trip pay, such as six percent of wages, then the “vacation pay payable” will be based upon that greater percentage.)

If a staff member is to get their holiday pay in a swelling sum on a certain date or dates, vacation pay will be included in the estimation of public vacation pay only if that date or dates falls during the relevant 4 work week duration.

Calculating the four work week duration before the work week with a public holiday

The 4 weeks before the public holiday is based upon the employer’s work week and is not always a calendar week.

Example:

Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday. Suppose that a company’s work week runs from Thursday to Wednesday. In this case, the 4 work weeks used to compute public vacation pay are those 4 weeks counting backwards from the very first Wednesday (the last day of the employer’s work week) before the work week in which the public holiday falls.

– Week 1: Thursday, November 22 – Wednesday, November 28

– Week 2: Thursday, November 29 – Wednesday, December 5

– Week 3: Thursday, December 6 – Wednesday, December 12

– Week 4: Thursday, December 13 – Wednesday, December 19

Public vacation: Tuesday, December 25

In this example, the regular salaries earned by the worker and the trip pay payable to the employee with respect to the 4 work weeks from November 22 to December 19 are utilized in the estimation of public holiday pay.

Calculating public holiday pay

Iryna works five days a week and makes $120 a day. She worked her last frequently set up work day before the general public vacation and her first frequently scheduled day after the vacation. She gets her trip pay when her trip is taken. She was not on vacation during the 4 work weeks leading up to the public vacation.

1. Calculate Iryna’s overall regular wages made:
$ 120 daily X 5 days = $600 weekly
$ 600 per week X 4 work weeks = $2,400.
Iryna earned $2,400 of regular wages in the 4 work weeks before the general public holiday.

2. Calculate the amount of holiday pay payable with respect to the four work week period:.
Iryna receives her getaway pay when she takes her getaway. Because she was not on getaway during the four work week period, the amount of getaway pay payable with respect to the four work weeks before the public vacation = $0.

3. Combine her total wages made and trip pay payable and divide the sum by 20:.
$ 2,400 + $0 = $2,400.
$ 2,400 ÷ 20 = $120.

Result: Iryna is entitled to $120 public vacation pay.

Example: When vacation time is included

Brock works five days a week and makes $160 a day. He was on holiday for 2 of the four weeks before the general public vacation. He receives holiday pay before he takes his getaway. He is paid $1,600 getaway spend for his two weeks of getaway. Brock worked his last regularly scheduled work day before the public vacation and his very first regularly set up work day after the holiday.

1. Calculate Brock’s overall regular incomes made:.
Brock worked 10 days.
$ 160 daily X 10 days = $1,600.

2. Calculate the amount of trip pay:.
Brock was on trip for 2 of the 4 work weeks prior to the work week with the public holiday, and is paid vacation pay before he takes his holiday. The quantity of trip pay payable with regard to the 4 work weeks prior to the work week with the general public vacation = $1,600.

3. Combine his overall wages made and vacation payable and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 1,600 + $1,600 = $3,200.
$ 3,200 ÷ 20 = $160.

Result: Brock is entitled to $160 public vacation pay.

Example: When a worker works part-time and each pay cheque consists of holiday pay

Tegan works three days a week and earns $120 a day. She worked her last frequently arranged work day before the public vacation and her first routinely arranged day after the holiday. She and her company have actually concurred in composing that she will receive four percent getaway pay on each paycheque.

1. Calculate Tegan’s routine earnings made:.
$ 120 daily X 3 days = $360 per week.
$ 360 per week X 4 weeks = $1,440.

2. Calculate her trip pay payable:.
$ 4.80 each day (4% of $120) X 3 days = $14.40 weekly.
$ 14.40 each week X 4 weeks = $57.60.

3. Add together her regular incomes earned and getaway pay payable and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 1,440 + $57.60 = $1,497.60.
$ 1,497.60 ÷ 20 = $74.88.

Result: Tegan is entitled to $74.88 public vacation pay.

Example: When there are no set hours and each pay cheque consists of getaway pay

Bertie does not work a set variety of hours per day or days each week. Her pay differs from week to week, according to the time she has worked. She and her employer have actually agreed in composing that she will receive 4 percent holiday pay on each pay cheque.

1. Bertie’s routine salaries made during the four work weeks before the holiday are $1,500.

2. Calculate her holiday pay payable:.
$ 1,500 X 4% = $60.

3. Add together her routine earnings earned and getaway pay payable and divide the sum by 20:.
$ 1,500 + $60 = $1,560.
$ 1,560 ÷ 20 = $78.

Result: Bertie is entitled to $78 pay.

Example: When an employee is on a leave

Zoe generally works five days a week, earning $120 a day. She gets holiday pay before she goes on vacation. On June 10, she went on a 17-week pregnancy leave, employment followed by a 35-week parental leave.

During her leaves, she was not paid earnings or getaway pay. She received maternity and parental gain from the federal Employment Insurance program, however these benefits are not considered “salaries.”

Zoe is entitled to get public vacation pay for the public holidays that fall during her leave as long as she works her last routinely arranged day before her leave and her first regularly set up day after her leave, or has reasonable cause for stopping working to do so.

Zoe went on leave on June 10 and just worked seven days during the 4 work weeks before the Canada Day public holiday. Her public vacation spend for Canada Day is:

– Regular salaries made: $120 a day X 7 days = $840.

– Vacation pay payable: $0 (she was not on trip throughout the 4 work week duration).

– Public vacation pay: ($ 840 + $0) ÷ 20 = $42 public holiday pay.

Her public holiday pay for the rest of the public vacations that fall throughout her leave will be $0. This is since she will not have earned any incomes or getaway pay on any of the days throughout the four work weeks before each of those vacations.

Example: When a worker is on a layoff

Eugene usually works five days a week, earning $100 a day. He was positioned on short-lived layoff on November 15. During his layoff, Eugene was not paid wages or vacation pay. He got employment insurance coverage advantages throughout this time, however these advantages are ruled out “wages.”

Eugene was recalled to deal with December 27. He is entitled to be paid public holiday pay for Christmas Day and Boxing Day as long as he works his last routinely set up day before the layoff and his first frequently arranged day after the layoff, or has sensible cause for stopping working to do so.

However, since Eugene did not make any incomes or trip pay in the 4 work weeks before those 2 public holidays, the amount of public holiday pay he is entitled to will be $0.

Premium pay

Premium pay is 1 1/2 times an employee’s routine rate of pay. If a staff member is entitled to receive exceptional spend for work on a public holiday, they should be paid 1 1/2 times their regular rate of pay for each hour worked.

For instance, Nathan’s routine rate of pay is $20 an hour. This suggests that his premium pay will be $30.00 an hour ($ 20.00 X 1 1/2).

Substitute holiday

A replacement vacation is another working day of rest work that is designated to change a public holiday. Employees are entitled to be paid public holiday spend for a replacement holiday.

An alternative vacation must be set up for a day that is no later on than three months after the public vacation for which it was earned, or, if the staff member has concurred digitally or in writing, employment the substitute day off can be arranged as much as 12 months after the public vacation.

If a worker receives an alternative holiday, the company must supply the worker with a written declaration that sets out the general public vacation that is being replaced, the date of the substitute holiday, and the date that the statement was provided to the worker. This statement should be supplied to the staff member before the general public holiday.

Entitlements for public vacations

Entitlements for public holidays differ depending upon such things as whether the holiday falls on a working day or a non-working day and whether the worker works on the holiday. The different entitlements are set out listed below.

When a public holiday falls on a working day however the employee does not work

Most staff members have the right to get the public vacation off and get paid public vacation pay. (Some workers may be needed to deal with a public vacation. See “Special rules for certain industries” later in this chapter.)

When a public vacation falls on an employee’s non-working day or during a staff member’s holiday

When a public holiday falls on a day that is not generally a working day for an employee, or throughout the staff member’s trip, the worker is entitled to either:

– a replacement holiday off with public holiday pay;.
or.

– public holiday pay for the public vacation, if the staff member accepts this electronically or in writing (in this case, the employee will not be provided an alternative day of rest).

When a staff member who gets approved for the day of rest has concurred electronically or in writing to deal with a public vacation

Most employees deserve to get the public vacation off and get paid public vacation pay. However, if an employee concurs digitally or in writing to work on the general public vacation, there are two options:

– the employee is entitled to get regular earnings for all hours dealt with the public vacation, plus a substitute day of rest deal with public holiday pay;.
or.

– if the worker agrees electronically or in writing, they are entitled to public holiday spend for the public vacation plus premium spend for all hours worked on the public vacation. In this case, the employee will not be offered an alternative day off.

Example: Calculating public vacation pay plus premium pay

A public vacation falls on among John-Duncan’s regular working days. He and his employer have actually concurred electronically or employment in composing that he will work on the public holiday which, instead of getting a replacement vacation, he will be paid public vacation pay plus premium pay for all the hours he works on the vacation.

John-Duncan routinely works eight hours a day, 5 days a week. His regular hourly pay rate is $20. He has actually dealt with all his scheduled work days in the 4 work weeks before the public holiday. He works 8 hours on the public holiday. He receives his getaway pay when his trip is taken. He was not on getaway throughout the four work weeks leading up to the public holiday

Step 1: calculate public vacation pay:

1. Calculate John-Duncan’s total routine wages earned in the 4 work weeks before the public vacation:
8 hours daily X $20 per hour = $160 each day
$ 160 each day X 5 days = $800 per week
$ 800 X 4 work weeks = $3,200.
John-Duncan made $3,200 in the four work weeks before the general public vacation.

2. Calculate the quantity of holiday pay payable with regard to the 4 work week duration:.
John-Duncan gets his trip pay when he takes his holiday. Because he was not on getaway during the four work week period, the quantity of getaway pay payable with respect to the 4 work weeks before the public holiday = $0.

3. Total his total wages made and holiday pay and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 3,200 + $0 = $3,200.
$ 3,200 ÷ 20 = $160.

John-Duncan’s public vacation pay privilege is $160.

Step 2: calculate premium pay

Finally, the premium pay owing to John-Duncan for his deal with the public vacation is computed:.
$ 20 per hour X 1 1/2 = $30.00.
$ 30.00 per hour X 8 hours worked = $240

John-Duncan’s premium pay entitlement is $240.

Result: John-Duncan is entitled to public holiday pay of $160 and exceptional pay of $240, for a total of $400.

When an employee consents to deal with a public vacation but fails to do so

If an employee has actually concurred electronically or in writing to work on the public holiday but does refrain from doing so – and does not have sensible cause for employment not having done so – the employee has no right to public holiday pay or to a substitute day of rest with pay.

However, if the staff member has reasonable cause for not working the public holiday, then privileges will depend on which of the two choices below the worker selected in exchange for consenting to deal with the general public holiday:

– if the employee had actually agreed digitally or in writing to deal with the general public holiday for regular wages plus an alternative day off with public vacation pay, the worker is entitled to an alternative day off deal with public vacation pay;.
or.

– if the employee had agreed digitally or in composing to work on the public holiday for public vacation pay plus premium pay for each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public holiday spend for the holiday. The staff member is not entitled to get any premium pay since they did not carry out any deal with the holiday.

When a worker works only some of the hours they concurred to work on a public vacation

If a staff member has concurred digitally or in writing to deal with the general public holiday however works just a few of the hours they concurred to work, and does not have sensible cause for failing to work all of the hours, the employee is only entitled to receive premium pay for each hour dealt with the vacation. The staff member has no right to public holiday pay or an alternative day of rest work.

Example: A normal case

Trudi had actually concurred in writing that she would work eight hours on Canada Day however she just worked four hours and did not have affordable cause for failing to work the other 4 hours. Trudi is entitled only to premium spend for the four hours she worked on the vacation. She is not entitled to public vacation pay or to a substitute day off work.

However, if the employee has reasonable cause for working only some of the hours they accepted deal with the general public vacation, then:

– the worker is entitled to their routine rate for all the hours worked plus a substitute day of rest deal with public holiday pay;.
or.

– if the worker had concurred electronically or in writing to work on the public vacation for public vacation pay plus premium spend for each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public vacation pay plus premium pay for every hour dealt with the holiday.

Special rules for particular markets

Special rules use to employees who work in the list below types of companies:

– hotels, motels and traveler resorts;.

– dining establishments and pubs;.

– healthcare facilities and assisted living home;.

– constant operations (which are operations, or parts of operations, that do not stop or close more than when a week – such as an oil refinery, alarm-monitoring company or the games part of a gambling establishment if the games tables are open around the clock).

A staff member who works in any of these businesses can be required to deal with a public holiday without their arrangement, however just if the holiday falls on a day that the worker would normally work and the worker is not on vacation.

If an employee is needed to work, they are entitled to either:

– their routine rate for the hours dealt with the public vacation, plus an alternative day of rest work with public vacation pay;.
or.

– public holiday pay plus premium pay for each hour worked.

The company picks which of these alternatives will use.

Note that the company’s ability to require workers to deal with a public vacation is subject to the employee’s right to take a day of rest for purposes of spiritual observance under the Ontario Human Rights Code, and to the regards to the staff member’s employment agreement. Note also that specific retail workers who work in constant operations (for instance, a 24-hour corner store) have the right to refuse to work on a public holiday because of the special rules that apply to some retail workers. See the “Retail workers” chapter of this guide for more information.

A staff member in the previously noted companies who is required to deal with a public vacation that falls on their normal working day however fails to do so, with affordable cause, is entitled to:

– a substitute vacation with public holiday pay;.
or.

– public vacation spend for the holiday.

The company selects which choice will use.

A worker in any of these services who is required to work on a public vacation that falls on their regular working day however who stops working, with reasonable cause, to work a few of the hours they were needed to deal with the holiday is entitled to either:

– their routine rate for each hour dealt with the vacation plus a replacement vacation with public vacation pay;.
or.

– public holiday spend for the holiday plus premium spend for each hour worked.

The company picks which choice will use.

A staff member in any of these businesses who is needed to work on a public holiday that falls on their regular working day however who fails, without affordable cause, to work part or all of the public holiday is only entitled to receive premium pay for each hour worked on the vacation (if any). The staff member has no right to public holiday pay or a substitute day off work.

Overtime estimations when a worker receives exceptional pay

Any hours worked on a public vacation that are compensated with exceptional pay are not consisted of when figuring out whether a worker has actually worked any overtime hours.

If employment ends

Sometimes an employee’s task pertains to an end before the staff member can take an alternative vacation with public vacation pay that they have made. In this case, the employer must pay the worker’s public vacation pay at the exact same time it pays the staff member’s last salaries. This is so regardless of the reason the job came to an end, whether it is because the worker quit, was fired for excellent reason, or for some other factor.
