Do you have the 27th, 28th and Jan 3rd off?

[Susan2771]

Soooo since the holidays of the 25th, 26th and New Years Day falls on the weekend, is your employer giving you alternate days during the week off? I cannot remember how it works if a stat holiday occurs on a weekend.

I'm off starting today until January 4th..but I work for the school board so it doesn't really count My husband on the other hand is only off 24th, 25th and 26th..and they had to work an extra day yesterday to get the 24th off They work statutory holidays..so luckily this year it falls on a weekend. It's frustrating sometimes but part of the job.

If a stat holiday falls on the weekend they have to give full time employees a day off. Part time staff may get paid stat pay.

 

[DisneyRookie2007]

yes, i have all 3 of those days off....working 24th until 2 pm

"Weekends" are an alien concept in retail: we don't get them off, or at least not often. I got three of them off in five years, once. If you work Saturday and Sunday as part of your full time week--and many people in retail do--then you get the three stat holidays off this year. Nothing else.

I work for the Government and we get the 27 and 28 off and then the 3rd. Just the way it falls this year. Kinda nice!!

Our company always has 3 shut down days over the Christmas break, along with the stats, and this year they have arranged it so that we have the 24th off, all of the next week, and then return to work on Jan 3. That works for me!

Yes I realize that. My husband works Saturday. Everyone only gets 3 stat holidays. Actually in Manitoba Boxing Day is no longer a stat so most people only get paid for Christmas and NY's Day unless they are in a unionized job.

IF Saturday is your normal day of work and your off for Christmas you will be paid for it. If you work Monday - Friday you get a day of during the week instead.

we got a half day on the 24th and 31st, then off 27, 28 and the 3rd.

Our other office which is open on weekends only gets the half day on the 24 and 31st, and closed on the 25th, 26th, and the 1st. so those who are not typically scheduled on the weekends anyway don't get any time off.

But they will be paid for being off on the 25th, 26th and 1st. While you are paid for being off on the 27th, 28th and the 3rd.

Ditto My DH works in the private sector but he has those days as well.

hmmm....how does that all work?

e.g. our other office is mostly staffed by temp part-timers who work 2-4 days a week and their schedule is all over the place. They basically get scheduled as needed. some work the weekends fairly regularly, some mostly work the weekdays. Do they get holiday pay?

I seem to remember that they have to work for us for a certain number of hours before they are eligible for holiday pay (One is a fairly new hire...but I think she may have reached the min number of hours by now). I remember once having a new hire who was a full time temp and there were a couple of stat holidays. One she wasn't paid for and the other she was simply because of how the dates fell and the hours worked.

Varies between provinces. You would have to check your provincial employment standards. Most part time people get paid stat pay if they qualify rather than paid time off.

Not entirely true. Full time employees get a choice (this is mostly for reatil employees). You can either get a lieu day and still get paid for it (ie, you get 2 days off [they can be any 2 days near that holiday], but still get paid), or you can work, and get paid a Stat Day, in which case (as an example) you get paid 7 days, and work 5. Extra money! I'm doing the two days off, while I have family in busier pharmacies that are working their normal shifts, and getting the extra pay.

Except for the fact that you also get your usual 'weekend' days, whether or not they actually fall on a weekend. I can't speak for all provinces, but of the three I've worked in, employers are, by law, required to give employees 24 consective hours off in any 7 day period, as well as 48 consecutive hours off in any 14 day period. You'd be amazed how many people I've worked with that don't know that and only get a day off at a time.
