Formula Explained
The Ontario Statutory Holiday Pay is calculated using the following formula:
Holiday Pay Formula
Holiday Pay = (Hourly Wage × 1.5) × Hours Worked
Overtime Pay (if hours worked > 8) = (Hourly Wage × 2) × (Hours Worked - 8)
Total Holiday Pay = Holiday Pay + Overtime Pay
This formula ensures compliance with Ontario labor laws, which require employers to pay employees 1.5 times their regular hourly wage for all hours worked on a statutory holiday, and 2 times the regular hourly wage for any hours worked beyond 8 hours on a holiday.
Worked Examples
Let's look at two examples to illustrate how the calculator works.
Example 1: 8 Hours Worked
If you earn $20 per hour and work 8 hours on a holiday:
| Calculation | Result |
|---|---|
| Holiday Pay | $20 × 1.5 × 8 = $240 |
| Overtime Pay | $0 (since hours worked ≤ 8) |
| Total Holiday Pay | $240 |
Example 2: 12 Hours Worked
If you earn $20 per hour and work 12 hours on a holiday:
| Calculation | Result |
|---|---|
| Holiday Pay | $20 × 1.5 × 8 = $240 |
| Overtime Pay | $20 × 2 × 4 = $160 |
| Total Holiday Pay | $240 + $160 = $400 |
