	Statutory holiday entitlement \| Business Link
		Holiday entitlement for part-time workers is the same as for full-time workers, calculated on a pro rata basis.
		Making payments for statutory holiday entitlement through a system of rolled-up holiday pay is no longer lawful.
		The whole of a worker's statutory leave entitlement exists from the beginning of each leave year - but in the first year of their employment you may restrict your workers to accruing leave monthly at the rate of one twelfth of the annual entitlement.

	National Holidays
		Statutory holidays are established by Act of Parliament and are observed, without fail, by federal employees and by most Canadians, although increasingly, statutory holidays are becoming days for shopping and for large sales.
		The statutory holiday began in 1879, almost certainly as an imitation of the American celebration, but earlier in the year as a recognition of the shorter growing season in Canada.
		Civic Holiday, variously called Heritage Day in Alberta and Saskatchewan and Simcoe Day in Ontario, is also celebrated in Manitoba and the NWT and gives a long weekend at the beginning of August.

	Barnes Marsland Solicitors: Holiday Entitlement
		Holiday entitlement is also an important issue because employers are required to set out the contractual terms as to holiday entitlement and holiday pay in the statement of particulars to be given to employees under section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
		The entitlement for the first holiday year is to be calculated pro rata by reference to the period from the beginning of the employment to the end of the holiday year.
		Those statutory provisions as to notice may be varied or excluded by individual contractual agreements or by a collective or workforce agreement having contractual effect between the employer and the employee.

	Equal pay during pregnancy and maternity: your rights
		You should be able to take the holiday either before you go on maternity leave or when you return to work after your maternity leave (or add it on to the end of your maternity leave).
		However, this is for health and safety reasons (to make sure that everybody takes a minimum amount of holiday each year) and arguably should not prevent a woman who has been on maternity leave from carrying over her leave into a new leave year when she returns from maternity leave.
		Therefore if you miss out on for example holiday and other contractual benefits to which you were entitled whilst on maternity leave, you still have to identify a male doing like work or work of equal value to you who received these benefits in order to take a claim.

	Victoria Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victoria Day (French: Fête de la Reine) is a Canadian Statutory Holiday celebrated on the Monday on or before May 24 in honour of both Queen Victoria's birthday and the current reigning Canadian Sovereign's birthday.
		This phrase has two meanings: the holiday always falls on the Monday of or before the birthday of Queen Victoria on the 24th of May, and a two-four is Canadian slang for a case of 24 bottles of beer, the most common packaging of Canadian beer.
		Though, as a national holiday, it is still an official holiday in Quebec, the Quebec National Assembly has dedicated the same day as a provincial holiday: National Patriotes Day (Journée nationale des patriotes), which commemorates the English-Canadian and French-Canadian Patriotes of the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837.

		Therefore, in the case of a full-time worker who works five days each week, his or her statutory holiday entitlement would indeed be 20 days a year.
		To avoid the problem of employees owing you money because they have taken more holiday than they are entitled to when they resign, a suitable clause could be drafted in to your contracts of employment permitting you to claw this back from their final salary when they leave.
		What this means is that a worker's entitlement to statutory annual leave is unaffected by absences from work, whether such absences are by reason of sick leave, maternity leave, parental leave or any other type of leave, provided that the contract of employment remains intact during that period.

		The WCB generally pays compensation for statutory holidays that fall within the period of disability or loss of earning capacity, except where the statutory holiday falls on a day that the worker would not have worked if s/he had not been injured or the employer pays the worker for the statutory holiday.
		If the employer pays the worker for a statutory holiday for which the WCB would pay the worker, the WCB will reimburse the employer for that day at the rate of compensation it would have paid the worker.
		However, if the day that the worker would return to work or is declared fit to return to work falls on a statutory holiday and the worker returns to work on the following day, the statutory holiday would be considered as part of the disability or loss of earning capacity period.

	Employment law - Statutory holiday entitlement - 06/02/2007
		A It is proposed that on 1 October 2007, statutory holiday entitlement would rise to 4.8 weeks (24 days for an employee working a five-day week), increasing again to 5.6 weeks on 1 October 2008 (with a maximum annual statutory entitlement of 28 days).
		If the proposals come into force, where a worker is required to take statutory leave on a bank/public holiday and they are on some other leave that day (such as maternity or sick leave), they would generally be entitled to take another day instead, so statutory holiday entitlement is not lost.
		A Additional holiday entitlement should be calculated by multiplying the proportion of the holiday year left to run by the additional holiday entitlement due from 1 October.
