STATUTORY HOLIDAYS (a) The following days shall be considered holidays for which full time employees shall receive eight (8) hours' pay for each statutory holiday as listed below, at their regular hourly rate of pay. If said employee works on said holiday, he shall be paid as per Article 29.06: New Year’s Day Labour Day ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Day Thanksgiving Day Good Friday Christmas Day Victoria Day Boxing Day Canada Day
(b) Employees working on Remembrance Day will be paid in accordance with the Remembrance Day Act or as amended by the Provincial Government.
29.02 All part-time employees shall receive general holiday pay in an amount equal to one-fifth (1/5) of the average weekly hours that were paid to the employee during the four (4) complete calendar weeks immediately prior to the week in which the general holiday occurs.
29.03 In order for an employee to qualify for a statutory holiday they must not have been voluntarily absent from their scheduled workday the day prior to and/or following such holiday. Vacation, leave of absence authorized by the Company and sick leave shall not disqualify an employee from receiving their general holidays as noted above.
29.04 If a statutory holiday occurs during an employee's vacation or scheduled day off, they shall have the opportunity to take an extra day's vacation with pay or an extra day's pay. In the event the employee chooses to take an extra day off with pay, the day off selected shall be subject to Company approval.
29.05 In the event that a security guard works in a location where a statutory holiday occurs which is not recognized in this agreement, and the client closes its business for that day, and the security guard, had that not been the case, would have normally worked on that day, said security guard shall be offered work in another location for the equivalent time that the employee would have worked if such work is available.
29.06 An employee who is required to and does work on a statutory holiday shall be paid at one and one-half (1½) times their rate of pay (plus one and one-half (1½) times the overtime rate if applicable) for all hours worked on a statutory holiday and in addition, shall be paid their regular pay for the statutory holiday if they fall in accordance with the requirements specified in 29.03 above.
29.07 Senior full-time employees will be given an opportunity not to be scheduled to work both Christmas and New Year’s Day, except in the event that there are no employees available or overtime or training costs are to be incurred by the Company to accommodate the change. Requests shall be submitted forty-five (45) days in advance and the Company shall respond within ten (10) days of the request.
Legal Holiday If the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.
Floating Holiday All employees except intermittent, emergency, and temporary employees shall also receive one (1) floating holiday each fiscal year of this Agreement. However, seasonal employees shall be eligible for only one (1) floating holiday per season and intermittent employees shall receive one (1) floating holiday each fiscal year of this Agreement if they complete ninety-one (91) working days in that fiscal year. Unless waived by the supervisor, the employee must request the floating holiday at least fourteen (14) calendar days in advance. The Appointing Authority may limit the number of employees that may be absent on any given day subject to the operational needs of the Appointing Authority. Any conflicts for requested holidays shall be resolved on the basis of State Seniority within the employee's work unit. The Appointing Authority shall make a reasonable effort to approve the requested holiday. Floating holidays may not be accumulated. An employee who has not requested the floating holiday by March 1 of each fiscal year or by thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of an employee's season shall be scheduled to take a floating holiday on a day chosen by the Appointing Authority or be paid for the floating holiday in cash at the option of the Appointing Authority.
Annual Holidays All colleagues covered by this Agreement are entitled to holiday entitlement (inclusive of bank holidays) as set out in the table below. The entitlement is based on a working week of 40 hours across 5 days. Colleagues working other shift patterns will have a pro rata entitlement based on their contracted hours and length of service: Number of Years Service Total Holiday Entitlement in days (inclusive of bank holidays) Holiday Hours based on 40 hour contract In First 2 years’ Service 30 240 After 2 years’ Service 32 256 After 5 years’ Service 34 272 After 15 years’ Service 36 288 The increase in holiday entitlement will be effective from the start of the holiday year (1st April) following the service anniversary. Where a colleague takes a full holiday week, the deduction from their annual leave entitlement will be based on the colleague’s weekly contracted hours. For single day absences, the number of hours deducted from the annual entitlement will be the colleague’s weekly contracted hours divided by the number of contracted days. Holiday entitlement is to be taken in the period 1st April in each year to 31st March in the following year. All holidays must normally be taken within the appropriate holiday year and cannot be carried forward from one year to the next. However, and only in exceptional circumstances, the General Manager may authorise holidays to be carried forward. If a colleague does not book holidays when requested to do so the holidays may be allocated by the manager in order to avoid holiday “congestion” or the colleague losing holiday entitlement. Any occasion when the depot is closed will be counted as a day’s holiday for a colleague scheduled to work and automatically deducted from the annual holiday entitlement. This would normally happen on public holidays such as Christmas day, or in the event of planned closures. The table below provides a broad indication of the amount of holiday that colleagues should aim to take in each period. Depots will review holiday usage against these principles to ensure that holiday is taken by colleagues and there is no congestion at the end of the holiday year. April May June July August September 50% October November December 25% January February March 25% A colleague leaving the Co-op will receive payment in lieu of any holidays accrued but untaken. The Co-op will make the appropriate deductions for any holidays taken in excess of the amount accrued. Holiday Pay is calculated to ensure compliance with the Working Time Regulations: • From April 2020, holiday pay will be calculated based on average earnings over the rolling previous 52 weeks or Basic Salary, whichever is the higher. • If a colleague has less than 52 weeks service, holiday pay will be calculated based on their average earnings over the total number of weeks during which they have been employed by us or their Basic Salary, whichever is the higher. Note: average earnings will include all elements as required by law from time to time. Holidays will not be allocated but will be offered to colleagues on a ‘first come first served’ basis with maximum quotas set for each holiday week relevant to each Depot. As the holiday year runs from the 1st April until the 31st March the weekly quotas will be published at the beginning of February for the following year’s holiday entitlements.
Holidays on Saturday or Sunday When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding workday not a holiday shall be deemed to be that holiday. When a holiday falls on Sunday, the following workday not a holiday shall be deemed to be that holiday.
