Employees will receive a premium rate of double time for any time worked on those public holidays required by the Ontario Employment Standards Act (excluding customer holidays or personal holidays/floating holidays.) In situations where the statutory public holiday has been reallocated to cover another customer holiday, the premium rate of double time will apply where an employee is required to work on the reallocated holiday. When any of the above listed holidays fall on a Saturday, it will be observed on the preceding Friday; and when any of the above listed holidays fall on a Sunday, it will be observed on the following Monday, in either case, provided that such observance does not negatively impact the division’s ability to meet the needs of their customer(s). Hours worked on a holiday for which a premium rate is paid do not count towards overtime.
