In Ontario and most jurisdictions, public holiday pay is calculated by taking all regular wages earned in the 4 work weeks immediately preceding the holiday, divided by 20 (which represents an average day's pay).
If you work on a statutory holiday, most employment standards require your employer to pay you 1.5 times your regular rate (time-and-a-half) for every hour worked, IN ADDITION to your standard statutory holiday pay (or your regular pay plus a paid substitute day off).
Under Canadian employment standards, employees are entitled to a minimum of 4% vacation pay (2 weeks). Once you complete 5 continuous years with the same employer, your legal entitlement automatically increases to 6% (3 weeks). In Saskatchewan and federal jurisdictions, it increases to 8% after 10 years.
