I'm at work .. I think although it's a stat day we trade this one for an extra day off around Christmas.

That said it's a super slow day. ..

Thats what I thought, until he explained that if the holiday falls on a weekend then its not a stat. Is this correct?

I wouldn't have thought so .. I'm not sure how you'd confirm that. Are the labour laws online?

In general when a stat falls on a weekend, you're given the monday. Not sure if that's in labour law or just standard practice.

I'm not working yet (have to stop in later to get some parts unloaded from a truck (arriving.... around now) assembled then readied for delivery/install tomorow. But at least it translates into getting the 27th of december off...

I'm at work also. but working from home.

Joe your boss is not following Canadian Labour Laws. If a Stat falls on a week end. Either the Monday or the Friday should be given as Stat.

Working at home. It's a normal work day for me since I'm "self-employed" so stat or no stat, doesn't matter. If there's work to be done, gotta do it.

Do you normally work Saturdays? If so, did you get that day off? (With regular pay).
I'm not totally up on the labour laws but it's my understanding that if a stat falls on a day you work then you either get the day off with straight time pay or you work it and get paid time and a half in addition to your regular pay. (Some people see this as double time and a half). If the stat falls on a day you don't work, such as a weekend, then you are entitled to either the Friday or the Monday as the stat. (ie: either of those days off with straight time pay, or work the day and get the extra pay). I'm pretty sure anyone that has a job is entitled to compensation one way or the other, whether they work the stat or not. I know I get 8 hours pay for every stat I don't work and compensated accordingly for every stat I do.
IMO, your getting ripped off.
Edit: Maybe it's different in Alberta, but I doubt it. You guys are rich. :wink:

If the stat falls on a not normally worked day, for example saturday, you arnt entitled to any sort of compensation. Many places give you an extra day off but that is at there discretion.
