Notes
- Holidays are observed on their calendar date. If the date of a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then the holiday will not be moved to a weekday.
- According to section 45, subsection 2 of the Employment Contracts Act, all employees who work on public holidays, including those whose scheduled workday falls on a public holiday, must be paid double pay. By agreement between the employer and employee, working on a public holiday may also be compensated with paid time off instead.
- According to section 53 of the Employment Contracts Act, employers must shorten the working day preceding New Year's Day, Independence Day, Victory Day and Christmas Eve by three hours. If an employee's workday falls on a Saturday or Sunday coinciding with a day required to be shortened as noted in section 53, then their Saturday or Sunday workday must be shortened as well.
