Christmas Holiday Closure – Additional Paid Days Off
In addition to the official Christmas statutory holidays, the University designates three (3) additional paid days off during the Christmas Holiday period.
These three days are paid days off, but they are not statutory holidays and therefore do not qualify for premium pay.
Full-time employees who are required to work on any of these days will receive straight-time pay for all hours worked or alternate paid time off (equal to the hours worked), as mutually agreed with their supervisor, unless otherwise specified in a Collective Agreement.
Part-time employees who have a regularly scheduled shift during the closure should have those hours entered on their timesheet for payment. Part-time employees without scheduled shifts during the closure will generally not be paid unless otherwise approved by their department or supervisor.
