How to Calculate Stat Holiday Pay in Ontario 2019

Statutory holiday pay in Ontario is calculated based on your regular wages and the number of statutory holidays you worked. The Ontario government mandates that employees receive pay for statutory holidays, even if they are not paid during regular holidays.

To calculate your statutory holiday pay for 2019, you'll need to know:

Your regular hourly wage or annual salary
The number of statutory holidays you worked in 2019
Whether you worked overtime on statutory holidays

The calculation process involves determining your regular pay rate and then applying it to the hours you worked on statutory holidays. If you worked overtime, you'll need to calculate that separately.

Formula for Stat Holiday Pay

Statutory Holiday Pay Formula

Statutory Holiday Pay = (Regular Hourly Wage × Hours Worked on Holiday) + Overtime Pay (if applicable)

For employees paid hourly, multiply your regular hourly wage by the number of hours you worked on the statutory holiday. For salaried employees, divide your annual salary by the number of regular workdays in a year to get your daily rate, then multiply by the number of days you worked on the statutory holiday.

If you worked overtime on a statutory holiday, calculate the overtime pay separately using your overtime rate.

Worked Example

Let's say you work at a restaurant in Ontario and earn $18 per hour. On New Year's Day 2019 (a statutory holiday), you worked from 11 AM to 7 PM, which is 8 hours. You didn't work any overtime that day.

Using the formula:

Statutory Holiday Pay = ($18/hour × 8 hours) = $144

So you would be entitled to $144 in statutory holiday pay for that day.

Note

This example assumes you didn't work any overtime. If you did, you would need to calculate the overtime pay separately and add it to the statutory holiday pay.
