Canada's statutory holidays consist of various cultural, national and religious holidays legislated at the federal or provincial/territorial level.
View the list of statutory holidays observed at UBC.
Beginning with the statutory holidays that occur in December 2020, Workday will automatically calculate statutory holiday pay. This means that departments will no longer need to calculate statutory pay for the vast majority of employees. However, there may occasionally be circumstances where statutory holiday pay must be calculated outside of Workday. This may include calculating or adjusting the statutory pay for employees who do not work a standard workweek.
If you have a statutory holiday pay inquiry, please review the Collective Agreement, Agreement or Employee Handbook.
