Segan-Will he be paid stat holiday pay for Christmas Eve? Explain
Will he be paid stat holiday pay for Christmas Day?
Will he be paid stat holiday pay for New Year’ Day?

Employees receive statutory holiday pay if they:
Have been employed for 30 calendar days

and Have worked or earned wages (like paid vacation days or another statutory holiday) on 15 of the 30 days before a statutory holiday

Some people think employees only need to work the day before and the day after to qualify for statutory holiday pay. This isn't the case in B.C.
If an employee does not qualify for statutory holiday pay, they are paid regular pay for working on a statutory holiday.
Some employees do not receive statutory holiday pay. Check the Employment Standards Regulation
