Holiday pay rules for employers

How pay works on each day type. Overtime and rest-day cases are in the full guide.

Regular holiday

Worked: 200% of the daily wage for the first 8 hours. 260% if the holiday also falls on the employee's rest day. Overtime: hourly rate x 200% x 130% per hour (x 130% again on a rest day).
Not worked: 100% of the daily wage if the employee worked or was on approved paid leave on the workday immediately before the holiday. If that day was a non-working day at the establishment or the employee's scheduled rest day, eligibility depends on work or approved paid leave on the previous workday.
