11Statutory holidays

Statutory holidays

In Canada, a few holidays are acknowledged nationwide, but not all are officially recognised and observed in all provinces and territories.

The five nationwide statutory holidays

Date Holiday
January 1 New Year’s Day
Two days before Easter Sunday Good Friday
July 1 Canada Day
First Monday of September Labour Day
December 25 Christmas Day

A national statutory holiday is basically a paid day off. To be eligible for statutory holiday pay, generally, the employee must have been employed for a certain number of days before the statutory holiday and have worked a certain number of days immediately before the statutory holiday.

Employees who are required to work on a general holiday are paid, in addition to the holiday pay for that day, at a rate equal to at least one and a half times their regular rate of wages for the time worked on that day.

Managers and professionals required to work the general holiday receive their normal rate of pay but must be given a holiday with pay at another time.

Amoureuse des Etats-Unis, de l'Utah et du voyage en train, j'ai passé 7 mois à Montréal en 2010, et j'en ai profité pour découvrir la Nouvelle-Angleterre en long, en large et en travers !
Mon coup de cœur avec Montréal date de 2008, et d'un mois estival là-bas... Depuis, je ne fais qu'y retourner !

J'ai réalisé deux tours des Etats-Unis (& Canada) en 2012 puis en 2014. Plusieurs mois sur les routes, c'est formateur... De retour à Montréal en 2019-2020 pour un PVT, avant de raccrocher !
Sur PVTistes.net, j'aime partager mon expérience sur le forum, dans des dossiers thématiques ou même en personne ! Vous me croiserez sûrement à Lyon, ma ville de cœur.
