ARTICLE 6
STATUTORY HOLIDAYS
- The following shall be considered as Statutory Holidays on which employees shall not be required to work:
New Year's Day Labour Day
Good Friday Thanksgiving Day
Easter Monday Remembrance Day
Victoria Day Christmas Day
Canada Day Boxing Day
B.C. Day
If the Federal or Provincial Government declares a Statutory Holiday in addition to those listed above, the employees will be entitled to that day under the same conditions as outlined in this Article.
Regular employees shall be paid for the above mentioned Statutory Holidays at the employee's current pay rate (rate on the date before the Statutory Holiday). If an employee is receiving short-term disability benefits under Schedule "A" attached hereto, he shall be paid the difference between his current pay rate and the insured benefit he is receiving. Any employee who does not qualify for sick pay benefits under the Welfare Plan as shown in Appendix "A" because of lack of service and is absent from work due to a sickness or accident covered by the Welfare Plan benefits, will receive his Statutory Holiday pay.
- Seasonal employees shall be paid for the above mentioned Statutory Holidays at their current pay rates provided the employee has worked at least five (5) days during the twenty (20) working days immediately preceding the day on which said holiday is observed, and the employee has not been absent without permission on the last work day scheduled for him immediately prior to the day on which the said holiday is observed and the first work day scheduled for him immediately after the day on which the said holiday is observed.
An employee will not necessarily be deemed to be absent without permission if by reasons of illness he is unable to report for work and has so advised his supervisor on the last work day scheduled for him immediately prior to the day on which the said holiday is observed or the first work day scheduled for him immediately thereafter. Before deciding whether to pay for such holiday, the company may require a medical certification supporting the absence which it considers satisfactory.
- In addition to the Statutory Holiday pay as outlined in (a) above, for all work performed on any of the aforementioned Statutory Holidays, employees shall be paid at double time or straight time for all hours worked with paid time off.
- Any of the above holidays that fall on Saturday will be observed on the preceding Friday, or the day proclaimed. Any of the above holidays that fall on Sunday will be observed on the following Monday, or the day proclaimed.
- Statutory holidays falling during an employee's vacation may be taken as pay or as days off with pay in lieu at the option of the employee. Such day off in lieu shall be scheduled by mutual agreement between the employee and the company, either the day before or the day following his vacation, or such other day as mutually agreed.
