Company Description
Qualified Employees can Be Full Time
Most employees who certify are entitled to take these days off work and be paid public vacation pay.
Alternatively, the staff member can agree digitally or in composing to work on the vacation and be paid:
– public vacation pay plus premium pay for all hours worked on the public vacation and not get another day of rest (called a “alternative” holiday);.
or.
– be paid their routine salaries for all hours dealt with the public holiday and receive another alternative vacation for which they need to be paid public vacation pay.
Some staff members may be needed to work on a public holiday. (See “Special guidelines for particular markets” later in this Chapter.) While the majority of employees are eligible for the public vacation privilege, some staff members operate in jobs that are not covered by the public holiday arrangements of the Employment Standards Act (ESA). To determine whether a task is covered, or if unique rules apply, please refer to the Guide to employment standards special guidelines and exemptions.
Use the Employment Standards Self-Service Tool to examine compliance with public holidays and other work standards privileges.
See “Public holiday pay” later on in this chapter.
Regular earnings does not consist of any overtime pay, getaway pay, public holiday pay, premium pay, domestic or sexual violence leave pay, termination pay, severance pay or termination of project pay payable to an employee.
While some employers give their workers a vacation on Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, the very first Monday in August, or Remembrance Day, the company is not needed to do so under the ESA.
Performing both covered and exempt work
Some staff members perform more than one kind of work for an employer. Some of this work may be covered by the public holiday part of the ESA, while another sort of work might be exempt from public holiday protection.
If a worker carries out both kinds of work, exempt and covered, they are qualified for the public vacation privilege with respect to a specific 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 cab driver (work that is exempt from public holiday coverage) 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 holiday part of the ESA, he is eligible for the general public holiday entitlement for Canada Day.
Qualifying for public vacation entitlements
Generally, staff members receive the general public vacation entitlement unless they:
– stop working without reasonable cause to work all of their last regularly set up day of work before the public vacation or all of their first frequently arranged day of work after the general public holiday (this is called the “Last and First Rule”);.
or.
– fail without affordable cause to work their whole shift on the public vacation if they agreed to or were required to work that day.
Note: Most staff members who fail to get approved for the general public vacation privilege are still entitled to be paid exceptional spend for every hour they work on the vacation.
Qualified workers can be full-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 general public vacation.
The “last and first rule”
The “last routinely arranged day of work before the public vacation” and the “very first frequently set up day of work after the general public vacation” do not need to be the days right in the past and right after the vacation.
For instance, a staff member may not be set up to work the day right before or after the holiday. As long as the employee works all of their last frequently scheduled shift before the holiday and all of the first one after it, or has reasonable cause for not working either of those days, they meet this certifying criterion.
Reasonable cause
A worker is generally considered to have “sensible cause” for missing out on work when something beyond their control avoids the employee from working. Employees are responsible for showing that they had reasonable cause for remaining away from work. If they can do so, they still get approved for public holiday privileges.
How the last and first rule works
Rosie’s regular work week ranges from Monday to Thursday. A public holiday falls on a Monday, and Rosie’s workplace shuts down for that day. If Rosie works the entire shift on the Thursday before the vacation and the Tuesday after the holiday, or has reasonable cause for stopping working to work either of those days, she certifies to be spent for the holiday.
Example: When a staff member takes a day of rest
A public vacation falls on a Monday, and Lev’s workplace closes down for that day. Lev frequently works Monday to Thursday. Lev has actually asked his employer for authorization to remove the Thursday before the general public vacation since he has an individual appointment. His employer agrees. Lev’s last frequently set up work day before the holiday is now considered to be on the Wednesday.
If Lev works his whole Wednesday shift before the holiday and his whole Tuesday shift after the holiday, or has sensible cause for not working either of those days, he receives the paid public vacation.
Example: When a worker 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 public holiday. The company agrees. Doris’s frequently 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 reasonable cause for stopping working to do so, she is entitled to the paid public holiday.
Example: When a staff member is on holiday
Canada Day falls on July 1. George is on holiday from June 25 to July 9. If George works all of his last frequently set up shift before his holiday and first routinely arranged shift after his vacation – on June 24 and July 10 – or has sensible cause for failing to do so, he will certify for the paid public vacation.
Example: When a staff member is on a leave or layoff
Lydia is on pregnancy leave when the Canada Day holiday happens. If Lydia works her last frequently scheduled day of work before her leave, and her first frequently arranged day of work after her leave, or has reasonable cause for failing to do so, she will be entitled to the paid public holiday.
Example: When there is no sensible cause
A public vacation falls on a Monday, and Ellen’s work environment is closed for the vacation. Ellen does not deal with her last scheduled day before the vacation, and she does not have reasonable cause for missing out on that day. She gets no spend for the holiday.
Public vacation pay
The quantity of public vacation pay to which a staff member is entitled is all of the routine incomes earned by the worker in the four work weeks before the work week with the general public vacation plus all of the trip pay payable to the staff member with respect to the four work weeks before the work week with the general public holiday, divided by 20.
When to include trip pay in the estimation of public vacation pay
The quantity of vacation pay payable to consist of in the computation of public vacation pay depends upon whether the worker is on holiday at any time during the four work weeks prior to the public vacation, and the way in which the worker is to be paid holiday pay. Please refer to the Vacation chapter for info on the various methods holiday pay can be paid.
Vacation pay payable
If the staff member is to be paid their getaway pay before they take a holiday or on or before the pay day for the period in which the holiday falls, holiday pay will be consisted of in the estimation of public vacation pay if the employee was on getaway during that 4 work week duration. If the staff member was not on trip during that duration, no getaway pay will be consisted of in the calculation.
If the worker is to be paid trip pay with every pay cheque the amount of holiday pay to include in the computation of public holiday pay will be at least 4 per cent of all of the worker’s wages made throughout the four work week period. (Note that if a worker makes a greater portion of trip pay, such as 6 percent of wages, then the “holiday pay payable” will be based on that greater percentage.)
If a staff member is to receive their holiday pay in a lump amount on a particular date or dates, holiday pay will be consisted of in the estimation of public holiday pay only if that date or dates falls during the pertinent four work week duration.
Calculating the 4 work week duration before the work week with a public holiday
The 4 weeks before the general public holiday is based upon the employer’s work week and is not always 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 4 work weeks utilized to determine 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 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 vacation: Tuesday, December 25
In this example, the regular incomes made by the staff member and the getaway pay payable to the employee with regard to the 4 work weeks from November 22 to December 19 are utilized in the computation of public vacation pay.
