Company Description
Qualified Employees can Be Full-time
Most employees who certify are entitled to take these days off work and be paid public holiday pay.
Alternatively, the staff member can concur electronically or in writing to deal with the holiday and be paid:
– public holiday pay plus premium pay for all hours dealt with the general public holiday and not receive another day of rest (called a “replacement” holiday);.
or.
– be paid their routine earnings for all hours worked on the public vacation and get another replacement vacation for which they should be paid public holiday pay.
Some staff members may be needed to deal with a public vacation. (See “Special rules for certain markets” later in this Chapter.) While a lot of staff members are qualified for the general public vacation entitlement, some workers work in tasks that are not covered by the public vacation arrangements of the Employment Standards Act (ESA). To determine whether a job is covered, or if unique rules apply, please refer to the Guide to work requirements special rules and exemptions.
Use the Employment Standards Self-Service Tool to inspect compliance with public holidays and other employment requirements privileges.
See “Public holiday pay” later in this chapter.
Regular earnings does not consist of any overtime pay, vacation pay, public vacation pay, premium pay, domestic or sexual violence leave pay, termination pay, discontinuance wage or termination of assignment pay payable to an employee.
While some companies provide their staff members a holiday on Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, the first Monday in August, or Remembrance Day, the employer is not needed to do so under the ESA.
Performing both covered and exempt work
Some workers carry out more than one type of work for an employer. Some of this work may be covered by the public vacation part of the ESA, while another type of work might be exempt from public vacation protection.
If an employee carries out both sort of work, exempt and covered, they are eligible for the general public vacation entitlement with regard to a specific public vacation if a minimum of half of the work performed in the work week of the general public holiday is work that is covered.
Rupert works for a taxi company as both a taxi cab motorist (work that is exempt from public holiday protection) and a dispatcher (work that is covered by the public vacation part of the ESA). In the work week that Canada Day fell, a minimum of half of Rupert’s work was as a dispatcher. Because this work is covered by the public holiday part of the ESA, he is eligible for the general public holiday entitlement for Canada Day.
Qualifying for public holiday privileges
Generally, employees receive the public vacation privilege unless they:
– stop working without affordable cause to work all of their last routinely set up day of work before the general public vacation or all of their first routinely arranged day of work after the public vacation (this is called the “Last and First Rule”);.
or.
– stop working without affordable cause to work their whole shift on the public holiday if they consented to or were needed to work that day.
Note: Most employees who fail to get approved for the public vacation privilege are still entitled to be paid premium spend for every hour they work on the holiday.
Qualified workers can be complete time, part-time, irreversible or on term agreement. It does not matter how recently they were hired, or how numerous days they worked before the public vacation.
The “last and very first guideline”
The “last frequently arranged day of work before the general public holiday” and the “very first routinely scheduled day of work after the public holiday” do not need to be the days right in the past and right after the vacation.
For example, a staff member might not be set up 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 reasonable cause for not working either of those days, they fulfill this qualifying criterion.
Reasonable cause
A staff member is usually considered to have “sensible cause” for missing work when something beyond their control avoids the worker from working. Employees are accountable for showing that they had reasonable cause for staying away from work. If they can do so, they still receive public holiday entitlements.
How the last and first rule works
Rosie’s regular work week ranges from Monday to Thursday. A public vacation falls on a Monday, and Rosie’s office 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 sensible cause for failing to work either of those days, she qualifies to be spent for the holiday.
Example: When an employee takes a day off
A public holiday falls on a Monday, and Lev’s workplace closes down for that day. Lev regularly works Monday to Thursday. Lev has actually asked his employer for authorization to remove the Thursday before the general public vacation since he has a personal visit. His employer concurs. Lev’s last routinely arranged work day before the holiday is now thought about to be on the Wednesday.
If Lev works his whole Wednesday shift before the holiday and his entire Tuesday shift after the vacation, or has affordable cause for not working either of those days, he qualifies for the paid public holiday.
Example: When a staff member leaves early
A public holiday falls on a Friday, and Doris’s work environment is closed for the vacation. Doris generally 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 general public vacation. The company agrees. Doris’s routinely set up shift on the Thursday before the general public vacation is now considered 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 affordable cause for stopping working to do so, she is entitled to the paid public holiday.
Example: When a staff member is on vacation
Canada Day falls on July 1. George is on vacation from June 25 to July 9. If George works all of his last frequently arranged shift before his vacation and first regularly set up shift after his trip – on June 24 and July 10 – or has sensible cause for failing to do so, he will qualify 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 occurs. If Lydia works her last regularly set up day of work before her leave, and her first frequently set up day of work after her leave, or has sensible cause for failing to do so, she will be entitled to the paid public vacation.
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 vacation.
Public vacation pay
The amount of public vacation pay to which an employee is entitled is all of the regular salaries made by the staff member in the 4 work weeks before the work week with the general public holiday plus all of the trip pay payable to the staff member with regard to the four work weeks before the work week with the general public holiday, divided by 20.
When to consist of trip pay in the computation of public holiday pay
The amount of holiday pay payable to include in the estimation of public vacation pay depends on whether the worker is on trip at any time during the four work weeks prior to the general public vacation, and the manner in which the employee is to be paid getaway pay. Please describe the Vacation chapter for details on the different methods holiday pay can be paid.
Vacation pay payable
If the staff member is to be paid their vacation pay before they take a holiday or on or before the pay day for the period in which the vacation falls, holiday pay will be included in the computation of public vacation pay if the worker was on holiday throughout that four work week duration. If the employee was not on getaway during that duration, no holiday pay will be consisted of in the computation.
If the staff member is to be paid getaway pay with every pay cheque the quantity of getaway pay to include in the computation of public holiday pay will be at least four per cent of all of the worker’s incomes earned during the four work week duration. (Note that if an employee makes a higher portion of holiday pay, such as six per cent of earnings, then the “trip pay payable” will be based on that higher portion.)
If an employee is to receive their trip pay in a lump sum on a particular date or dates, getaway pay will be consisted of in the computation of public holiday pay only if that date or dates falls throughout the pertinent four work week period.
Calculating the four work week period 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 necessarily 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 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 company’s work week) before the work week in which the public vacation 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 wages earned by the worker and the holiday pay payable to the employee with regard to the four work weeks from November 22 to December 19 are used in the calculation of public holiday pay.
Calculating public holiday pay
Iryna works five days a week and earns $120 a day. She worked her last regularly scheduled work day before the general public holiday and her first regularly scheduled day after the vacation. She gets her holiday pay when her holiday is taken. She was not on getaway during the four work weeks leading up to the general public vacation.
1. Calculate Iryna’s total routine incomes made:
$ 120 per day X 5 days = $600 per week
$ 600 weekly X 4 work weeks = $2,400.
Iryna made $2,400 of routine earnings in the 4 work weeks before the public vacation.
2. Calculate the amount of getaway pay payable with regard to the four work week period:.
Iryna receives her holiday pay when she takes her trip. Because she was not on getaway during the 4 work week duration, the amount of trip pay payable with regard to the 4 work weeks before the public vacation = $0.
3. Add together her overall salaries earned and vacation pay payable and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 2,400 + $0 = $2,400.
$ 2,400 ÷ 20 = $120.
Result: Iryna is entitled to $120 public holiday pay.
Example: When getaway time is involved
Brock works 5 days a week and earns $160 a day. He was on vacation for 2 of the 4 weeks before the general public holiday. He receives holiday pay before he takes his holiday. He is paid $1,600 trip pay for his 2 weeks of trip. Brock worked his last regularly arranged work day before the public holiday and his first frequently scheduled work day after the vacation.
1. Calculate Brock’s overall regular incomes earned:.
Brock worked 10 days.
$ 160 each day X 10 days = $1,600.
2. Calculate the quantity of getaway pay:.
Brock was on holiday for two of the 4 work weeks prior to the work week with the general public vacation, and is paid getaway pay before he takes his trip. The amount of holiday 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 salaries made 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 staff member works part-time and each pay cheque includes trip pay
Tegan works 3 days a week and earns $120 a day. She worked her last regularly scheduled work day before the public vacation and her first routinely set up day after the holiday. She and her employer have concurred in writing that she will receive four percent vacation pay on each paycheque.
1. Calculate Tegan’s routine earnings made:.
$ 120 per day X 3 days = $360 weekly.
$ 360 each week X 4 weeks = $1,440.
2. Calculate her vacation pay payable:.
$ 4.80 daily (4% of $120) X 3 days = $14.40 per week.
$ 14.40 per week X 4 weeks = $57.60.
3. Total her regular salaries made and holiday pay payable and divide the sum by 20:.
$ 1,440 + $57.60 = $1,497.60.
$ 1,497.60 ÷ 20 = $74.88.
Result: Tegan is entitled to $74.88 public holiday pay.
Example: When there are no set hours and each pay cheque consists of vacation pay
Bertie does not work a set number of hours daily or days each week. Her pay varies from week to week, according to the time she has actually worked. She and her company have actually concurred in composing that she will receive 4 per cent vacation pay on each pay cheque.
1. Bertie’s routine wages earned during the 4 work weeks before the holiday are $1,500.
2. Calculate her vacation pay payable:.
$ 1,500 X 4% = $60.
3. Add together her routine wages made and getaway 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 worker is on a leave
Zoe normally works five days a week, making $120 a day. She gets holiday pay before she goes on holiday. On June 10, she went on a 17-week pregnancy leave, followed by a 35-week parental leave.
During her leaves, she was not paid wages or holiday pay. She received maternity and adult gain from the federal Employment Insurance program, but these benefits are not thought about “earnings.”
Zoe is entitled to receive public holiday spend for the general public vacations that fall during her leave as long as she works her last regularly scheduled day before her leave and her very first routinely arranged 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 vacation. Her public holiday pay for Canada Day is:
– Regular earnings earned: $120 a day X 7 days = $840.
– Vacation pay payable: $0 (she was not on vacation throughout the 4 work week period).
– Public holiday pay: ($ 840 + $0) ÷ 20 = $42 public vacation pay.
Her public vacation pay for the rest of the public vacations that fall during her leave will be $0. This is because she will not have made any salaries or vacation pay on any of the days throughout the 4 work weeks before each of those vacations.
Example: When an employee is on a layoff
Eugene typically works 5 days a week, earning $100 a day. He was put on short-lived layoff on November 15. During his layoff, Eugene was not paid salaries or holiday pay. He received employment insurance benefits throughout this time, but these benefits are not thought about “wages.”
Eugene was remembered to work on December 27. He is entitled to be paid public holiday pay for Christmas Day and Boxing Day as long as he works his last frequently scheduled day before the layoff and his very first routinely scheduled day after the layoff, or has affordable cause for stopping working to do so.
However, due to the fact that Eugene did not earn any incomes or vacation pay in the 4 work weeks before those 2 public vacations, the amount of public holiday pay he is entitled to will be $0.
Premium pay
Premium pay is 1 1/2 times a staff member’s routine rate of pay. If a worker is entitled to receive exceptional pay for deal with a public vacation, they must be paid 1 1/2 times their routine rate of pay for each hour worked.
For instance, 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 holiday is another working day of rest work that is designated to change a public vacation. Employees are entitled to be paid public vacation spend for an alternative vacation.
A replacement holiday must be arranged for a day that is no behind 3 months after the public vacation for which it was earned, or, if the staff member has concurred electronically or in writing, the alternative day of rest can be arranged as much as 12 months after the public holiday.
If a worker receives an alternative vacation, the employer should provide the employee with a written statement that sets out the public holiday that is being replaced, the date of the substitute vacation, and the date that the statement was offered to the worker. This declaration needs to be supplied to the worker before the general public holiday.
Entitlements for public vacations
Entitlements for public vacations differ depending upon such things as whether the vacation falls on a working day or a non-working day and whether the staff member works on the holiday. The different privileges are set out listed below.
When a falls on a working day but the staff member does not work
Most employees can get the public holiday off and earn money public vacation pay. (Some staff members might be required to deal with a public holiday. See “Special rules for certain markets” later on in this chapter.)
When a public vacation falls on a worker’s non-working day or throughout an employee’s vacation
When a public holiday falls on a day that is not ordinarily a working day for an employee, or throughout the worker’s holiday, the staff member is entitled to either:
– a substitute vacation off with public holiday pay;.
or.
– public holiday spend for the public vacation, if the worker concurs to this electronically or in writing (in this case, the staff member will not be provided a substitute day off).
When a worker who gets approved for the day off has actually concurred digitally or in composing to deal with a public vacation
Most employees can get the general public holiday off and get paid public holiday pay. However, if a worker agrees electronically or in writing to deal with the general public vacation, there are 2 alternatives:
– the worker is entitled to get routine incomes for all hours dealt with the public holiday, plus an alternative day off work with public holiday pay;.
or.
– if the staff member agrees electronically or in composing, they are entitled to public vacation pay for the public vacation plus premium pay for all hours worked on the public holiday. In this case, the worker will not be offered an alternative day off.
Example: Calculating public vacation pay plus premium pay
A public holiday falls on one of John-Duncan’s regular working days. He and employment his company have agreed electronically or in writing that he will work on the public holiday which, instead of getting a replacement holiday, he will be paid public vacation pay plus premium pay for all the hours he deals with 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 4 work weeks before the public vacation. He works eight hours on the general public holiday. He gets his vacation pay when his holiday is taken. He was not on vacation throughout the 4 work weeks leading up to the public holiday
Step 1: compute public vacation pay:
1. Calculate John-Duncan’s overall routine salaries earned in the 4 work weeks before the public holiday:
8 hours per day X $20 per hour = $160 each day
$ 160 daily X 5 days = $800 per week
$ 800 X 4 work weeks = $3,200.
John-Duncan made $3,200 in the 4 work weeks before the public vacation.
2. Calculate the amount of vacation pay payable with respect to the four work week period:.
John-Duncan gets his getaway pay when he takes his vacation. Because he was not on trip throughout the 4 work week period, the amount of trip pay payable with regard to the four work weeks before the general public vacation = $0.
3. Combine his overall salaries made and trip pay and divide the amount by 20:.
$ 3,200 + $0 = $3,200.
$ 3,200 ÷ 20 = $160.
John-Duncan’s public holiday pay privilege is $160.
Step 2: compute superior pay
Finally, the premium pay owing to John-Duncan for his work on 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 vacation pay of $160 and superior pay of $240, for a total of $400.
When a staff member accepts deal with a public holiday but fails to do so
If a staff member has agreed digitally or in writing to deal with the general public vacation but does refrain from doing so – and does not have sensible cause for not having actually done so – the worker has no right to public vacation pay or to a substitute day of rest with pay.
However, if the employee has sensible cause for not working the general public holiday, then entitlements will depend upon which of the 2 options below the worker selected in exchange for consenting to deal with the general public holiday:
– if the worker had actually concurred digitally or in composing to work on the general public vacation for routine wages plus a substitute day off with public vacation pay, the employee is entitled to an alternative day of rest work with public vacation pay;.
or.
– if the staff member had actually agreed digitally or in composing to deal with the public holiday for public holiday pay plus premium spend for each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public holiday spend for the holiday. The employee is not entitled to receive any superior pay due to the fact that they did not carry out any deal with the holiday.
When an employee works only a few of the hours they agreed to deal with a public holiday
If an employee has actually agreed digitally or in writing to deal with the public vacation but works just some of the hours they accepted work, and does not have sensible cause for failing to work all of the hours, the employee is only entitled to receive premium spend for employment each hour dealt with the holiday. The employee has no right to public vacation pay or a substitute day of rest work.
Example: A common case
Trudi had actually agreed in composing that she would work 8 hours on Canada Day however she just worked four hours and did not have reasonable 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 holiday pay or to an alternative day of rest work.
However, if the staff member has sensible cause for working only some of the hours they accepted deal with the public holiday, then:
– the staff member is entitled to their regular rate for all the hours worked plus a substitute day of rest deal with public vacation pay;.
or.
– if the worker had actually agreed digitally or in composing to deal with the general public vacation for public vacation pay plus premium spend for employment each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public vacation pay plus premium pay for every hour worked on the holiday.
Special rules for specific industries
Special guidelines apply to workers who work in the following types of companies:
– hotels, motels and tourist resorts;.
– restaurants and pubs;.
– healthcare facilities and nursing homes;.
– continuous operations (which are operations, or parts of operations, that do not stop or close more than once a week – such as an oil refinery, alarm-monitoring business or the games part of a casino if the video games tables are open around the clock).
A worker who works in any of these businesses can be needed to work on a public vacation without their contract, however only if the holiday falls on a day that the staff member would normally work and the staff member is not on holiday.
If a staff member is needed to work, they are entitled to either:
– their routine rate for the hours dealt with the public holiday, plus an alternative day of rest deal with public vacation pay;.
or.
– public vacation pay plus premium pay for each hour worked.
The employer picks which of these alternatives will use.
Note that the company’s ability to require staff members to work on a public holiday is subject to the employee’s right to take a day off for purposes of spiritual observance under the Ontario Human Rights Code, employment and to the regards to the worker’s employment contract. Note likewise that certain retail workers who operate in constant operations (for example, a 24-hour corner store) can refuse to work on a public vacation since of the unique rules that use to some retail employees. See the “Retail workers” chapter of this guide for more details.
A worker in the previously listed businesses who is required to deal with a public vacation that falls on their common working day but fails to do so, with reasonable cause, is entitled to:
– a substitute vacation with public holiday pay;.
or.
– public holiday spend for the holiday.
The employer picks which option will use.
A worker in any of these organizations who is required to work on a public vacation that falls on their normal working day but who fails, with affordable cause, to work some of the hours they were needed to work on the holiday is entitled to either:
– their regular rate for each hour dealt with the vacation plus a replacement holiday with public holiday pay;.
or.
– public vacation pay for the vacation plus premium pay for each hour worked.
The employer picks which choice will use.
A worker in any of these companies who is needed to work on a public vacation that falls on their regular working day however who fails, without affordable cause, to work part or all of the general public vacation is only entitled to receive premium pay for each hour dealt with the vacation (if any). The employee has no right to public holiday pay or an alternative day of rest work.
Overtime estimations when an employee receives exceptional pay
Any hours worked on a public vacation that are compensated with exceptional pay are not consisted of when determining whether an employee has actually worked any overtime hours.
If employment ends
Sometimes a worker’s task comes to an end before the worker can take a substitute holiday with public vacation pay that they have actually earned. In this case, the company must pay the worker’s public holiday pay at the very same time it pays the worker’s last salaries. This is so regardless of the factor the task came to an end, whether it is because the staff member quit, was fired for good factor, or for some other reason.
