Statutory Holidays Ontario 2022 Calculator

What Are Statutory Holidays?

Statutory holidays are days designated by law as public holidays. On these days, most businesses and government offices are closed. Employees are typically entitled to paid time off, and some services may be restricted or unavailable.

Types of Statutory Holidays

Statutory holidays can be categorized into several types:

• Fixed-date holidays: These occur on the same date every year, such as New Year's Day and Christmas Day.
• Floating holidays: These holidays occur on different dates each year, often based on religious observances or other criteria, such as Easter Monday.
• Provincial holidays: These are specific to a particular province or region, such as Family Day in Ontario.

Legal Status and Entitlements

Statutory holidays are legally recognized and provide employees with certain rights and benefits. These may include:

• Paid time off
• Protection against dismissal or discrimination
• Special leave entitlements

It's important to note that while statutory holidays provide employees with time off, they do not guarantee paid leave. Employers may still require employees to take their holidays on paid time off or may offer paid time off in lieu of the holiday.
