What if a stat holiday falls on a weekend?
The dates above are the calendar dates. When a statutory holiday lands on a day an employee doesn’t normally work, such as a Saturday or Sunday, Manitoba employment standards law sets what they’re owed, usually a substitute paid day off or holiday pay. Rules on who qualifies and how holiday pay is calculated also differ by province, so check the official guide below for the exact rule.
