Christmas hoildays 2021 fall on a saturday and sunday, boxing day and christmas day. Does that mean we get two days off
So much about a Christmas dinner with my family with Covid lockdowns in place :(
When you work Monday thru Saturday and Boxing Day is a stat holiday and it falls on a Saturday are we to get another day off IE: the following Monday.
Please let us know .
So Christmas 2018 falls on a Tuesday. The Company that you work for has a planned 2 week shut down. Christmas and New Years are in that planned 2 week shut down. Do you get paid for Christmas Day and New Years Day?
What are the legal holidays for Christmas 2017
are we leagally just off Monday 26th december
I'm not sure why virtually all of the comments are about what days you might get in lieu if Christmas is on a weekend. In keeping with the subject at the top of this comments page, I'm a senior living alone but with many (all very much grown) siblings, and my Mom usually coming to Calgary from PEI for much of the Christmas/New Years season. So our traditions revolve around decorating, visiting, some family doing midnight Mass, some siblings sharing Christmas dinner, etc. Personally, I enjoy eggnog and various nuts in the shell during the season because we had them as kids. There are many of us so we don't really do gift exchange, just cards. The only personal gift exchange is with my son and very young grandson at his place along with my step-daughter and her two kids, usually an evening with dinner just after Christmas Day. Watching some traditional Christmas movies throughout the season with a nicely decorated, well lit tree, crackling fireplace and eggnog (spiked a bit, eh?) just about rounds things out!
On a long weekend, I look forward to an extra day of less expensive hydro. When Christmas falls on the weekend, shouldn't electricity be doubly discounted? Free hydro on Christmas Day so that people can cook their turkeys and all would be refreshing.
So if I work Mon-Friday, does my employer have to pay for a stat-not-worked (ie the 8 hours of Christmas day) when Christmas falls on a Sunday?
People are losing their mind about christmas 2016 haha. Some clarification, employers are not required to give you a day off in lieu. However if they do it is their choice which day they give. Boxing day is not a stat. I for example work mon-fri. So i will be uneffected by xmas and boxing day. I will work mon-fri both weeks. However when i receive my paystub it will say 80 reg. hours and 8 SNW hours, stat not worked.
If Christmas day lands on the Sunday for 2016. What day would employers be required to give off for the stat? .. Considering that boxing day lands on the Monday.
Christmas holidays this year will be complicated. When will the schools close down for their break? Dec 16th or the 23rd. Each local school board can make their own decisions. If they go to the 23rd then having Christmas Day stat taken on the 23rd does not make sense. I hope everyone makes their decisions early because no matter what you do someone will be unhappy!
Christmas Day 2016 is on a Sunday and Boxing Day is on Monday. Would Christmas Day be observed on the Friday before? Friday December 23, 2016.
If Christmas falls on a Friday and boxing day a Saturday what days do you get off for work as holidays?
If Christmas is on a Sunday with the Boxing Day Stat on the Monday, is the Christmas Stat observed on the Friday before or the Tuesday after the 25th?
If payday lands on boxing day and your work place is closed which day should you get payed on.
Boxing day is not a statutory holiday for everyone in Canada. It's only a stat holiday for federally regulated workers and banks and for everyone in Ontario. So if you don't live in Ontario and you're not on a government / bank payroll then it's not a stat holiday for you. (may be in New Brunswick - not sure). Just thought I send this in because there seems to be a confusion about whether or not Boxing Day is a holiday. Cheers.
If it's a federal holiday, and this country claims Godin it's constitution, why is it incorrect to say "Merry Christmas" now?
We will add a page about Boxing Day next year (2014) - it's too late to do it this year. Thanks for your suggestion!
Why don't u explkain boxing day too??
I see you finally made your website look good on mobile phones - good job! Anyway, just wanted to say that for people living west of Toronto, the Bronte Park Homestead Christmas "party" and the RBC Christmas events are probably your two best bets for family outings. Just an FYI...
