Your Easter Holiday date is wrong. Good Friday is April 2nd and Easter Monday April 5th according to every other web site. Perghaps you should consider correcting it!!

I would like to know how stat holidays are calculated. I'm getting conflicting information. I've been told it is calculated by the lenght of time employee has been employed and if they worked the day before and after. Then I was told that it's calculated on the four weeks prior and divide that amount by 20.

What are the rules surrounding workers with head offices in other jurisdictions? Are we not entitled to the stat holidays in the province in which we work?

Family Day in Ontario and Alberta is a statutory holiday. Only federal government employees are exempt in these provinces. Should an employee voluntarily accept to work he or she is entitled to x2 holiday rate wages.

How can Saturday April 10th be Good Friday?

I'd like to know to what extent does the family day has to be off. Is it mandatory for employers to give us the day off or is it up to them to decide?

Sorry. Jan 1st is a new year so it's actually 2011. You are correct in your comments.

Please note that New Years is on a Saturday this year and not Friday as stated in your comments.

Government employees have a bargained union agreement to get 10 paid holiday days per year. That is why they were not able to take Family day off, where the rest of us were. That would make 11 days for them - to which they are not entitled. Personally, I think that ALL business should be required to be closed ALL statutory holidays.
