Company Description

Qualified Employees can Be Full Time

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

Alternatively, the staff member can agree electronically or in writing to deal with the vacation and be paid:

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

– be paid their routine wages for all hours worked on the public holiday and get another alternative vacation for which they should be paid public holiday pay.

Some workers may be needed to work on a public vacation. (See “Special guidelines for specific markets” later in this Chapter.) While the majority of workers are qualified for the public holiday privilege, some employees operate in tasks that are not covered by the public vacation provisions of the Employment Standards Act (ESA). To identify whether a job is covered, or if special guidelines use, please refer to the Guide to work requirements unique guidelines and exemptions.

Use the Employment Standards Self-Service Tool to check compliance with public holidays and other work standards entitlements.

See “Public holiday pay” later in this chapter.

Regular wages does not consist of any overtime pay, holiday pay, public vacation pay, premium pay, domestic or sexual violence leave pay, termination pay, discontinuance wage or termination of task pay payable to an employee.

While some companies offer their staff members a holiday 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 employment exempt work

Some workers carry out more than one type of work for a company. A few of this work might be covered by the public vacation part of the ESA, while another type of work may be exempt from public holiday coverage.

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

Rupert works for a taxi business as both a taxi taxi driver (work that is exempt from public vacation protection) and a dispatcher (work that is covered by the public vacation 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 vacation privilege for Canada Day.

Receiving public holiday entitlements

Generally, employees receive the public holiday privilege unless they:

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

– fail without affordable cause to work their whole shift on the public holiday if they accepted or were required to work that day.

Note: Most staff members who stop working to certify for the general public holiday privilege are still entitled to be paid premium pay for every hour they deal with the vacation.

Qualified staff members can be full time, part-time, permanent or on term contract. It does not matter how recently they were employed, or how numerous days they worked before the general public holiday.

The “last and first rule”

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

For example, employment a worker may not be scheduled to work the day right before or after the vacation. As long as the worker works all of their last routinely set up 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 criterion.

Reasonable cause

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

How the last and very first guideline works

Rosie’s routine work week runs from Monday to Thursday. A public holiday 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 vacation, or has reasonable cause for stopping working to work either of those days, she qualifies to be paid for the holiday.

Example: When a staff member takes a day of rest

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 approval to take off the Thursday before the general public holiday because he has an individual visit. His employer concurs. Lev’s last frequently set up work day before the holiday is now thought about to be on the Wednesday.

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

Example: When an employee leaves early

A public holiday falls on a Friday, and Doris’s work environment is closed for the holiday. Doris usually 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 vacation. The company agrees. Doris’s routinely 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, employment or has sensible cause for employment failing to do so, she is entitled to the paid public vacation.

Example: When a staff member is on getaway

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

Example: When a staff member is on a leave or layoff

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

Example: When there is no affordable cause

A public holiday falls on a Monday, and Ellen’s office is closed for the vacation. Ellen does not work on her last scheduled day before the vacation, and she does not have sensible cause for missing that day. She gets no pay for the vacation.

Public vacation pay

The amount of public holiday pay to which a staff member is entitled is all of the regular wages earned by the staff member in the four work weeks before the work week with the general public holiday plus all of the getaway pay payable to the employee with respect to the four work weeks before the work week with the general public holiday, divided by 20.

When to include vacation pay in the estimation of public vacation pay

The amount of trip pay payable to include in the computation of public vacation pay depends upon whether the employee is on getaway at any time throughout the 4 work weeks prior to the general public holiday, and the manner in which the employee is to be paid getaway pay. Please describe the Vacation chapter for information on the various methods trip pay can be paid.

Vacation pay payable

If the staff member is to be paid their vacation pay before they take a trip or on or before the pay day for the duration in which the getaway falls, vacation pay will be consisted of in the estimation of public vacation pay if the staff member was on holiday during that 4 work week duration. If the employee was not on getaway during that duration, no vacation pay will be consisted of in the estimation.

If the employee is to be paid getaway pay with every pay cheque the amount of trip pay to consist of in the computation of public vacation pay will be at least 4 per cent of all of the worker’s incomes made throughout the 4 work week duration. (Note that if a staff member makes a greater percentage of trip pay, such as 6 percent of earnings, then the “getaway pay payable” will be based on that higher portion.)

If an employee is to receive their trip pay in a lump sum on a specific date or dates, trip pay will be consisted of in the calculation of public vacation pay just if that date or dates falls throughout the pertinent 4 work week duration.

Calculating the 4 work week period before the work week with a public vacation

The four weeks before the general public holiday is based upon the company’s work week and is not always a calendar week.

Example:

Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday. Suppose that a company’s work week ranges from Thursday to Wednesday. In this case, the four work weeks utilized to calculate public vacation pay are those 4 weeks counting in reverse from the first Wednesday (the last day of the company’s work week) before the work week in which the general 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 holiday: Tuesday, December 25

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

Calculating public holiday pay

Iryna works 5 days a week and makes $120 a day. She worked her last regularly scheduled work day before the general public holiday and her very first frequently set up day after the vacation. She receives her holiday pay when her holiday is taken. She was not on getaway throughout the 4 work weeks leading up to the general public holiday.

1. Calculate Iryna’s total regular wages earned:
$ 120 daily X 5 days = $600 weekly
$ 600 each week X 4 work weeks = $2,400.
Iryna earned $2,400 of routine wages in the 4 work weeks before the public vacation.

2. Calculate the amount of trip pay payable with regard to the 4 work week period:.
Iryna receives her holiday pay when she takes her trip. Because she was not on vacation throughout the four work week duration, the amount of holiday pay payable with regard to the 4 work weeks before the public vacation = $0.

3. Combine her total earnings made and vacation 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 getaway time is included

Brock works 5 days a week and earns $160 a day. He was on getaway for two of the 4 weeks before the general public holiday. He gets trip pay before he takes his getaway. He is paid $1,600 vacation spend for his two weeks of vacation. Brock worked his last regularly scheduled work day before the public vacation and his very first routinely arranged work day after the vacation.

1. Calculate Brock’s overall routine salaries earned:.
Brock worked 10 days.
$ 160 daily X 10 days = $1,600.

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

3. Combine his total earnings earned and getaway payable and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 1,600 + $1,600 = $3,200.
$ 3,200 ÷ 20 = $160.

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

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

Tegan works three days a week and employment makes $120 a day. She worked her last regularly scheduled work day before the general public vacation and her first frequently arranged day after the holiday. She and her employer have actually concurred in writing that she will get four percent trip pay on each paycheque.

1. Calculate Tegan’s regular incomes earned:.
$ 120 daily X 3 days = $360 per week.
$ 360 weekly X 4 weeks = $1,440.

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

3. Combine her routine earnings made and holiday 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 each day or days weekly. Her pay differs from week to week, according to the time she has actually worked. She and her employer have agreed in composing that she will receive four per cent trip pay on each pay cheque.

1. Bertie’s regular incomes earned during the 4 work weeks before the vacation are $1,500.

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

3. Add together her routine salaries made and trip pay payable and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 1,500 + $60 = $1,560.
$ 1,560 ÷ 20 = $78.

Result: Bertie is entitled to $78 public vacation pay.

Example: When a staff member is on a leave

Zoe usually works five days a week, making $120 a day. She receives getaway pay before she goes on trip. On June 10, she went on a 17-week pregnancy leave, followed by a 35-week adult leave.

During her leaves, she was not paid wages or trip pay. She got maternity and parental benefits from the federal Employment Insurance program, however these advantages are not considered “salaries.”

Zoe is entitled to get public vacation spend for the general public vacations that fall throughout her leave as long as she works her last routinely set up day before her leave and her very first routinely scheduled day after her leave, or has reasonable cause for failing 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 holiday pay for Canada Day is:

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

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

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

Her public holiday pay for the remainder of the public vacations that fall throughout her leave will be $0. This is since she will not have made any earnings or vacation pay on any of the days during the 4 work weeks before each of those vacations.

Example: When a staff member is on a layoff

Eugene typically works five days a week, making $100 a day. He was put on temporary layoff on November 15. During his layoff, Eugene was not paid earnings or vacation pay. He received employment insurance benefits throughout this time, but these benefits are ruled out “wages.”

Eugene was remembered to work on December 27. He is entitled to be paid public vacation pay for Christmas Day and Boxing Day as long as he works his last routinely arranged day before the layoff and his very first routinely arranged day after the layoff, or has sensible cause for failing to do so.

However, due to the fact that Eugene did not make any wages or holiday pay in the four work weeks before those 2 public vacations, the quantity of public vacation pay he is entitled to will be $0.

Premium pay

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

For example, Nathan’s regular 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 vacation

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

A replacement holiday should be set up for a day that is no later than 3 months after the public vacation for which it was made, or, if the worker has actually concurred electronically or in composing, the substitute day of rest can be arranged as much as 12 months after the public vacation.

If a worker receives an alternative vacation, the employer needs to provide the employee with a written statement that sets out the public holiday that is being replaced, the date of the alternative holiday, and the date that the statement was provided to the employee. This declaration must be provided to the worker before the general public vacation.

Entitlements for public holidays

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

When a public vacation falls on a working day but the staff member does not work

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

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

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

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

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

When a worker who receives the day off has concurred digitally or in writing to deal with a public vacation

Most staff members have the right to get the public holiday off and get paid public holiday pay. However, if an employee agrees electronically or in writing to deal with the general public vacation, there are two choices:

– the staff member is entitled to get routine incomes for all hours dealt with the general public vacation, plus an alternative day of rest work with public holiday pay;.
or.

– if the staff member concurs digitally or in writing, they are entitled to public holiday spend for the general public vacation plus premium pay for all hours worked on the general public holiday. In this case, the employee will not be offered an alternative day of rest.

Example: Calculating public holiday pay plus premium pay

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

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

Step 1: compute public holiday pay:

1. Calculate John-Duncan’s overall regular wages earned in the four work weeks before the general public vacation:
8 hours daily X $20 per hour = $160 daily
$ 160 per 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 amount of trip pay payable with respect to the 4 work week period:.
John-Duncan gets his vacation pay when he takes his vacation. Because he was not on getaway throughout the 4 work week period, the quantity of holiday pay payable with respect to the four work weeks before the public holiday = $0.

3. Add together his total salaries earned and holiday pay and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 3,200 + $0 = $3,200.
$ 3,200 ÷ 20 = $160.

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

Step 2: calculate premium pay

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

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

Result: John-Duncan is entitled to public vacation pay of $160 and exceptional pay of $240, for an overall of $400.

When a worker consents to work on a public holiday however stops working to do so

If an employee has actually agreed electronically or in composing to deal with the general public vacation however does not do so – and does not have affordable cause for not having done so – the worker has no right to public holiday pay or to an alternative day off with pay.

However, if the worker has sensible cause for not working the general public vacation, then privileges will depend upon which of the two options below the staff member picked in exchange for consenting to work on the general public vacation:

– if the employee had actually concurred digitally or in composing to deal with the public vacation for routine earnings plus a substitute day of rest with public holiday pay, the worker is entitled to an alternative day off work with public holiday pay;.
or.

– if the staff member had agreed digitally or in writing to deal with the general public vacation for public vacation pay plus premium spend for each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public vacation pay for the holiday. The worker is not entitled to receive any superior pay due to the fact that they did not carry out any deal with the vacation.

When a staff member works just a few of the hours they accepted work on a public vacation

If a worker has actually concurred electronically or in composing to work on the general public vacation however works only a few of the hours they consented to work, and does not have sensible cause for failing to work all of the hours, the worker is just entitled to get exceptional spend for each hour worked on the vacation. The worker has no right to public holiday pay or a substitute day off work.

Example: A normal case

Trudi had actually concurred in composing that she would work eight hours on Canada Day but she just worked four hours and did not have sensible cause for stopping working to work the other 4 hours. Trudi is entitled only to premium pay for the four hours she worked on the holiday. She is not entitled to public holiday pay or to an alternative day of rest work.

However, if the worker has sensible cause for working only some of the hours they consented to deal with the public holiday, then:

– the staff member is entitled to their routine rate for all the hours worked plus an alternative day off work with public holiday pay;.
or.

– if the staff member had actually concurred digitally or in writing to work on the general public holiday for public vacation pay plus premium pay for each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public vacation pay plus premium spend for every hour worked on the holiday.

Special rules for specific markets

Special guidelines use to employees who operate in the list below types of organizations:

– hotels, motels and traveler resorts;.

– restaurants and taverns;.

– health centers and assisted living home;.

– continuous 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 video games part of a gambling establishment if the video games tables are open all the time).

A worker who operates in any of these businesses can be needed to deal with a public vacation without their contract, but just if the vacation falls on a day that the worker would usually work and the worker is not on trip.

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

– their routine rate for the hours worked on the general public holiday, plus a substitute day of rest deal with public vacation pay;.
or.

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

The company picks which of these options will apply.

Note that the company’s capability to require staff members to deal with a public holiday undergoes the worker’s right to take a day off for functions of religious observance under the Ontario Human Rights Code, and to the terms of the employee’s work agreement. Note also that certain retail employees who work in constant operations (for example, a 24-hour corner store) can refuse to work on a public holiday due to the fact that of the unique rules that use to some retail employees. See the “Retail workers” chapter of this guide for more info.

A staff member in the previously noted services who is needed to deal with a public holiday that falls on their normal working day but fails to do so, with affordable cause, is entitled to:

– an alternative vacation with public holiday pay;.
or.

– public holiday pay for the holiday.

The company picks which alternative will apply.

A staff member in any of these businesses who is needed to work on a public holiday that falls on their normal working day but who fails, with sensible cause, to work a few of the hours they were required to deal with the vacation is entitled to either:

– their regular rate for each hour worked on the holiday plus a substitute vacation with public vacation pay;.
or.

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

The company chooses which option will apply.

An employee in any of these companies who is needed to work on a public holiday that falls on their ordinary working day however who stops working, without affordable cause, to work part or all of the public vacation is just entitled to receive premium pay for each hour worked on the holiday (if any). The employee has no right to public holiday pay or an alternative day off work.

Overtime calculations when a staff member receives premium pay

Any hours dealt with a public holiday that are compensated with superior pay are not consisted of when figuring out whether a staff member has worked any overtime hours.

If work ends

Sometimes a staff member’s task concerns an end before the staff member can take a replacement vacation with public holiday pay that they have earned. In this case, the company should pay the worker’s public vacation pay at the very same time it pays the staff member’s last incomes. This is so no matter the factor the job concerned an end, whether it is because the employee gave up, was fired for great reason, or for some other reason.
