Company Description
Qualified Employees can Be Full Time
Most employees who qualify are entitled to take nowadays off work and be paid public holiday pay.
Alternatively, the staff member can agree electronically or in writing to work on the vacation and be paid:
– public holiday pay plus premium pay for employment all hours dealt with the public vacation and not receive another day off (called a “alternative” vacation);.
or.
– be paid their routine incomes for all hours dealt with the public holiday and receive another replacement vacation for which they must be paid public vacation pay.
Some staff members may be required to work on a public holiday. (See “Special rules for specific markets” later on in this Chapter.) While a lot of staff members are qualified for the general public holiday privilege, some staff members work 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 describe the Guide to work standards unique rules and exemptions.
Use the Employment Standards Self-Service Tool to check compliance with public vacations and other employment requirements entitlements.
See “Public vacation pay” later in this chapter.
Regular wages does not consist of any overtime pay, vacation pay, public holiday pay, premium pay, domestic or sexual violence leave pay, termination pay, discontinuance wage or termination of project pay payable to a staff member.
While some employers offer their workers a holiday on Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, the 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 staff members perform more than one kind of work for a company. Some of this work may be covered by the public vacation part of the ESA, while another sort of work might be exempt from public holiday coverage.
If an employee performs both type of work, exempt and covered, they are qualified for the general public vacation privilege with respect to a particular public vacation 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 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 vacation part of the ESA, he is eligible for the public holiday privilege for Canada Day.
Qualifying for public vacation privileges
Generally, workers get approved for the general public vacation privilege unless they:
– fail without affordable cause to work all of their last routinely arranged day of work before the general public vacation or all of their first routinely arranged day of work after the general public vacation (this is called the “Last and First Rule”);.
or.
– fail without affordable cause to work their entire shift on the general public vacation if they consented to or were required to work that day.
Note: Most workers who fail to certify for the general public vacation privilege are still entitled to be paid exceptional spend for every hour they deal with the vacation.
Qualified staff members can be full-time, part time, long-term or on term contract. It does not matter how recently they were worked with, or how many days they worked before the general public holiday.
The “last and very first rule”
The “last routinely arranged day of work before the general public vacation” and the “very first routinely arranged day of work after the public holiday” do not have to be the days right before and right after the vacation.
For example, a worker may not be set up to work the day right before or after the vacation. As long as the employee works all of their last routinely scheduled shift before the vacation and all of the first one after it, or has reasonable cause for not working either of those days, they meet this qualifying requirement.
Reasonable cause
A staff member is normally considered to have “reasonable cause” for missing work when something beyond their control avoids the employee from working. Employees are accountable for showing that they had sensible cause for staying away from work. If they can do so, they still get approved for public vacation privileges.
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 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 vacation.
Example: When an employee takes a day off
A public holiday falls on a Monday, and Lev’s work environment shuts down for that day. Lev regularly works Monday to Thursday. Lev has actually asked his company for authorization to remove the Thursday before the general public vacation because he has a personal consultation. His company agrees. Lev’s last regularly scheduled work day before the holiday is now considered to be on the Wednesday.
If Lev works his whole Wednesday shift before the vacation and his whole Tuesday shift after the vacation, or has affordable cause for not working either of those days, he certifies for the paid public holiday.
Example: When a worker leaves early
A public vacation falls on a Friday, and Doris’s workplace is closed for the holiday. 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 holiday. The company concurs. Doris’s frequently scheduled shift on the Thursday before the public holiday 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 reasonable cause for failing to do so, she is entitled to the paid public holiday.
Example: When a worker is on getaway
Canada Day falls on July 1. George is on trip from June 25 to July 9. If George works all of his last frequently scheduled shift before his trip and very first regularly arranged shift after his getaway – on June 24 and July 10 – or has affordable cause for stopping working to do so, he will receive the paid public vacation.
Example: When an employee is on a leave or layoff
Lydia is on pregnancy leave when the Canada Day vacation occurs. If Lydia works her last frequently set up day of work before her leave, and her very first routinely arranged day of work after her leave, or has reasonable cause for stopping working to do so, she will be entitled to the paid public holiday.
Example: When there is no affordable cause
A public vacation 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 sensible cause for missing that day. She receives no pay for the vacation.
Public holiday pay
The amount of public vacation pay to which a worker is entitled is all of the routine earnings made by the employee in the four work weeks before the work week with the public holiday plus all of the trip pay payable to the worker with regard to the 4 work weeks before the work week with the general public vacation, divided by 20.
When to consist of holiday pay in the estimation of public vacation pay
The quantity of holiday pay payable to consist of in the estimation of public vacation pay depends upon whether the employee is on holiday at any time during the four work weeks prior to the public holiday, and the manner in which the worker is to be paid vacation pay. Please describe the Vacation chapter for info on the various ways getaway pay can be paid.
Vacation pay payable
If the employee is to be paid their trip pay before they take a trip or on or before the pay day for the duration in which the holiday falls, vacation pay will be included in the estimation of public vacation pay if the worker was on trip throughout that four work week period. If the employee was not on getaway during that duration, no holiday pay will be consisted of in the computation.
If the worker is to be paid getaway pay with every pay cheque the amount of trip pay to consist of in the calculation of public holiday pay will be at least 4 percent of all of the worker’s salaries made during the four work week period. (Note that if an employee makes a higher portion of vacation pay, such as six per cent of earnings, then the “trip pay payable” will be based upon that higher percentage.)
If a worker is to get their trip pay in a swelling amount on a particular date or dates, holiday pay will be included in the estimation of public vacation pay just if that date or dates falls during the relevant 4 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 on the company’s work week and is not necessarily 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 four work weeks used to determine public vacation pay are those 4 weeks counting backwards from the first Wednesday (the last day of the employer’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 salaries earned by the worker and the holiday pay payable to the staff member with regard to the 4 work weeks from November 22 to December 19 are utilized in the computation of public holiday pay.
Calculating public vacation pay
Iryna works five days a week and earns $120 a day. She worked her last frequently set up work day before the public holiday and her very first regularly arranged day after the holiday. She receives her vacation pay when her trip is taken. She was not on trip throughout the four work weeks leading up to the public holiday.
1. Calculate Iryna’s overall regular salaries earned:
$ 120 each day X 5 days = $600 weekly
$ 600 each week X 4 work weeks = $2,400.
Iryna earned $2,400 of regular earnings in the four work weeks before the general public vacation.
2. Calculate the quantity of vacation pay payable with regard to the 4 work week period:.
Iryna gets her vacation pay when she takes her holiday. Because she was not on trip during the 4 work week period, the amount of getaway pay payable with respect to the 4 work weeks before the general public vacation = $0.
3. Add together her total earnings made and getaway pay payable and divide the sum by 20:.
$ 2,400 + $0 = $2,400.
$ 2,400 ÷ 20 = $120.
Result: Iryna is entitled to $120 public holiday pay.
Example: When vacation time is included
Brock works five days a week and makes $160 a day. He was on trip for 2 of the 4 weeks before the public vacation. He receives holiday pay before he takes his getaway. He is paid $1,600 getaway spend for employment his 2 weeks of getaway. Brock worked his last frequently arranged work day before the general public holiday and his very first routinely arranged work day after the holiday.
1. Calculate Brock’s overall routine wages made:.
Brock worked 10 days.
$ 160 per day X 10 days = $1,600.
2. Calculate the quantity of trip pay:.
Brock was on vacation for 2 of the 4 work weeks prior to the work week with the general public holiday, and is paid holiday pay before he takes his trip. The amount of vacation pay payable with regard to the four work weeks prior to the work week with the public vacation = $1,600.
3. Add together his total salaries made and trip 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 trip pay
Tegan works three days a week and earns $120 a day. She worked her last regularly set up work day before the general public holiday and her very first regularly arranged day after the holiday. She and her employer have concurred in composing that she will receive four percent getaway pay on each paycheque.
1. Calculate Tegan’s routine incomes made:.
$ 120 per day X 3 days = $360 weekly.
$ 360 each week X 4 weeks = $1,440.
2. Calculate her getaway pay payable:.
$ 4.80 each day (4% of $120) X 3 days = $14.40 weekly.
$ 14.40 per week X 4 weeks = $57.60.
3. Total her regular wages made 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 holiday pay.
Example: When there are no set hours and each pay cheque consists of holiday pay
Bertie does not work a set number of hours daily or days weekly. Her pay differs from week to week, according to the time she has actually worked. She and her company have concurred in composing that she will receive 4 percent vacation pay on each pay cheque.
1. Bertie’s routine incomes made during the four work weeks before the vacation are $1,500.
2. Calculate her getaway pay payable:.
$ 1,500 X 4% = $60.
3. Combine her routine earnings earned and trip pay payable and divide the sum by 20:.
$ 1,500 + $60 = $1,560.
$ 1,560 ÷ 20 = $78.
Result: Bertie is entitled to $78 public vacation pay.
Example: When an employee is on a leave
Zoe generally works five days a week, earning $120 a day. She receives vacation pay before she goes on vacation. 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 incomes or getaway pay. She received maternity and adult take advantage of the federal Employment Insurance program, however these advantages are not considered “salaries.”
Zoe is entitled to get public vacation pay for the general public holidays that fall throughout her leave as long as she works her last routinely arranged day before her leave and her first routinely arranged day after her leave, or has affordable 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 vacation spend for Canada Day is:
– Regular earnings earned: $120 a day X 7 days = $840.
– Vacation pay payable: $0 (she was not on holiday throughout the four work week duration).
– Public vacation pay: ($ 840 + $0) ÷ 20 = $42 public holiday pay.
Her public vacation spend for the rest of the public holidays that fall throughout her leave will be $0. This is since she will not have earned any salaries or getaway pay on any of the days throughout the four work weeks before each of those holidays.
Example: When a staff member is on a layoff
Eugene generally works 5 days a week, making $100 a day. He was positioned on short-term layoff on November 15. During his layoff, Eugene was not paid wages or trip pay. He got employment insurance benefits during this time, but these advantages are ruled out “salaries.”
Eugene was recalled to deal with December 27. He is entitled to be paid public vacation spend for Christmas Day and Boxing Day as long as he works his last frequently set up day before the layoff and his very first routinely arranged day after the layoff, or has reasonable cause for employment stopping working to do so.
However, because Eugene did not make any salaries or holiday pay in the 4 work weeks before those 2 public holidays, the amount of public vacation 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 worker is entitled to receive exceptional spend for deal with a public holiday, they need to be paid 1 1/2 times their regular rate of pay for each hour worked.
For example, Nathan’s routine rate of pay is $20 an hour. This indicates that his premium pay will be $30.00 an hour ($ 20.00 X 1 1/2).
Substitute vacation
A replacement holiday is another working day of rest work that is designated to replace a public holiday. Employees are entitled to be paid public vacation spend for an alternative holiday.
An alternative vacation should be set up for a day that is no behind three months after the general public vacation for which it was made, or, if the worker has actually agreed electronically or in composing, the alternative day off can be arranged as much as 12 months after the general public vacation.
If a worker gets a substitute vacation, employment the company needs to offer the worker with a composed declaration that sets out the general public vacation that is being substituted, the date of the substitute holiday, and the date that the declaration was given to the staff member. This declaration must be supplied to the staff member before the general public holiday.
Entitlements for public vacations
Entitlements for public vacations differ depending upon such things as whether the holiday falls on a working day or a non-working day and whether the worker deals with the holiday. The various entitlements are set out below.
When a public holiday falls on a working day but the employee does not work
Most employees have the right to get the public vacation off and earn money public vacation pay. (Some workers might be required to work on a public holiday. See “Special rules for specific markets” later on in this chapter.)
When a public holiday falls on a worker’s non-working day or throughout an employee’s trip
When a public holiday falls on a day that is not ordinarily a working day for an employee, or throughout the staff member’s holiday, the staff member is entitled to either:
– a substitute vacation off with public holiday pay;.
or.
– public vacation spend for the public holiday, if the employee accepts this digitally or in writing (in this case, the staff member will not be given a substitute day off).
When an employee who gets approved for the day off has actually concurred digitally or in writing to work on a public vacation
Most employees can get the public vacation off and earn money public vacation pay. However, if a worker concurs digitally or in composing to work on the public holiday, there are two choices:
– the staff member is entitled to receive routine salaries for all hours worked on the general public holiday, plus an alternative day of rest work with public holiday pay;.
or.
– if the staff member agrees digitally or in writing, they are entitled to public holiday pay for the general public holiday plus premium pay for all hours dealt with the general public vacation. In this case, the employee will not be provided a substitute day of rest.
Example: Calculating public holiday pay plus premium pay
A public vacation falls on among John-Duncan’s regular working days. He and his company have actually agreed digitally or in writing that he will work on the general public vacation which, rather of getting an alternative holiday, he will be paid public holiday pay plus premium spend for all the hours he deals with the holiday.
John-Duncan regularly works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. His regular per hour pay rate is $20. He has actually worked on all his scheduled work days in the four work weeks before the general public vacation. He works eight hours on the general public holiday. He gets his holiday pay when his vacation is taken. He was not on getaway throughout the four work weeks leading up to the public holiday
Step 1: calculate public holiday pay:
1. Calculate John-Duncan’s overall regular salaries made in the 4 work weeks before the public vacation:
8 hours each day X $20 per hour = $160 each day
$ 160 daily X 5 days = $800 weekly
$ 800 X 4 work weeks = $3,200.
John-Duncan earned $3,200 in the 4 work weeks before the public holiday.
2. Calculate the quantity of trip pay payable with regard to the 4 work week duration:.
John-Duncan receives his getaway pay when he takes his getaway. Because he was not on trip throughout the 4 work week period, the amount of getaway pay payable with regard to the 4 work weeks before the public vacation = $0.
3. Combine his overall earnings made and vacation pay and divide the sum by 20:.
$ 3,200 + $0 = $3,200.
$ 3,200 ÷ 20 = $160.
John-Duncan’s public holiday pay entitlement is $160.
Step 2: calculate premium pay
Finally, the premium pay owing to John-Duncan for his work on the general public holiday is calculated:.
$ 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 holiday pay of $160 and exceptional pay of $240, for an overall of $400.
When a staff member concurs to deal with a public vacation however stops working to do so
If a staff member has concurred digitally or in composing to work on the public vacation however does refrain from doing so – and does not have reasonable cause for not having done so – the employee has no right to public holiday pay or to an alternative day off with pay.
However, if the staff member has reasonable cause for not working the general public holiday, then privileges will depend upon which of the 2 options below the staff member chose in exchange for consenting to deal with the public holiday:
– if the staff member had actually concurred electronically or in composing to work on the public holiday for routine earnings plus an alternative day of rest with public holiday pay, the worker is entitled to an alternative day of rest work with public vacation pay;.
or.
– if the employee had actually concurred electronically or in composing to deal with the general public holiday for public holiday pay plus premium pay for each hour worked, they are entitled to be paid public holiday spend for the vacation. The employee is not entitled to get any superior pay since they did not carry out any deal with the holiday.
When a worker works only a few of the hours they concurred to deal with a public vacation
If a staff member has actually concurred electronically or in writing to work on the general public vacation but works only a few of the hours they consented to work, and does not have affordable cause for failing to work all of the hours, the staff member is just entitled to receive superior spend for each hour dealt with the vacation. The worker has no right to public vacation pay or a substitute day of rest work.
Example: A normal case
Trudi had concurred in writing that she would work 8 hours on Canada Day but she just worked 4 hours and did not have affordable cause for stopping working to work the other four hours. Trudi is entitled just to premium pay for the 4 hours she worked on the vacation. She is not entitled to public vacation pay or to an alternative day off work.
However, if the employee has sensible cause for working only a few of the hours they consented to work on the general public holiday, then:
– the worker is entitled to their routine rate for all the hours worked plus a substitute day off work with public holiday pay;.
or.
– if the staff member had actually agreed electronically or in writing 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 pay plus premium pay for every hour dealt with the holiday.
Special guidelines for certain markets
Special rules apply to staff members who operate in the following kinds of services:
– hotels, motels and tourist resorts;.
– dining establishments and pubs;.
– hospitals and nursing homes;.
– constant 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 video games part of a casino if the games tables are open all the time).
A worker who works in any of these services can be needed to deal with a public holiday without their arrangement, however only if the vacation falls on a day that the worker would typically work and the employee is not on trip.
If an employee is needed to work, they are entitled to either:
– their routine rate for the hours worked on the public holiday, plus a substitute day off deal with public holiday pay;.
or.
– public holiday pay plus premium spend for each hour worked.
The employer selects which of these options will apply.
Note that the employer’s ability to require workers to work on a public vacation goes through the worker’s right to take a day of rest for functions of spiritual observance under the Ontario Human Rights Code, and to the terms of the employee’s employment agreement. Note also that specific retail workers who work in constant operations (for example, a 24-hour corner store) deserve to refuse to work on a public vacation due to the fact that of the unique rules that use to some retail employees. See the “Retail workers” chapter of this guide for additional information.
A staff member in the formerly listed businesses who is needed to work on a public vacation that falls on their ordinary working day however fails to do so, with sensible cause, is entitled to:
– an alternative holiday with public holiday pay;.
or.
– public vacation pay for the vacation.
The employer chooses which choice will apply.
A worker in any of these companies who is required to work on a public holiday that falls on their common working day but who fails, with reasonable cause, to work a few of the hours they were required to deal with the holiday 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 selects which choice will use.
A worker in any of these organizations who is required to deal with a public vacation that falls on their common working day however who stops working, without reasonable cause, to work part or all of the general public holiday is only entitled to receive superior pay for each hour dealt with the holiday (if any). The employee has no right to public vacation pay or an alternative day off work.
Overtime estimations when a staff member gets premium pay
Any hours worked on a public holiday that are compensated with superior pay are not included when determining whether an employee has worked any overtime hours.
If work ends
Sometimes a staff member’s task concerns an end before the employee can take a replacement holiday with public holiday pay that they have made. In this case, the company should pay the staff member’s public holiday pay at the same time it pays the staff member’s final wages. This is so no matter the factor the task came to an end, whether it is due to the fact that the employee stopped, was fired for excellent factor, or for some other reason.
