Federal and provincial rules differ
A federal holiday can be a public-service closure without being a paid holiday under a province’s employment standards. Choose a jurisdiction for the applicable statutory list.
Observed dates are contextual
When a holiday falls on a non-working day, the substitute day can depend on legislation, the employee’s schedule, an agreement or an employer policy. This guide does not invent a universal Monday observance.
