Employment-standard applicability
Applies under the jurisdiction’s employment standards to eligible provincially or territorially regulated employees.
Eligibility, holiday pay and substitute-day rules depend on the applicable legislation and the employee’s work schedule.
An “actual date” is the calendar holiday. An observed or substitute day is shown only when one universal date has been verified; otherwise employees should check the official rules and their work schedule.
