Questions? HRNC can assist you with the answer.
.
(I am posting my response to a question in this blog because I believe that others may have similar situations and do not know who to ask.)
Thank you for asking your question of HRNC.
Let me re-frame the question as I understand you.
The
employer has an operation that operates seven days a week but not
24/7. They close on Sunday for the Public Holiday, but that is not your
scheduled day to work. Do you still receive another paid day off in
lieu of that day or not?
My answer is "that depends" which I know sounds frustrating.
- If this company falls under any of the exemptions, such as Crown or federal employees they follow Federal Regulation.
- Have employees signed an agreement with the employer regarding Public Holidays?
- There are more circumstances which is why I said "that depends".
Section 29(1) of the Employment Standards Act covers Public Holiday Not Ordinarily a Working Day.
29(1)
If a public holiday falls on a day that would not ordinarily be a
working day for an employee or a day on which the employee is on
vacation, the employer shall substitute another day that would
ordinarily be a working day for the employee to take off work and for
which he or she shall be paid public holiday pay as if the substitute
day were a public holiday.
I
hope this answers your question. Now you can look for this section and
see if there are any other exemptions for the work that you do that may
cause the employer not to give unscheduled employees another day off.
Please
let me know how this answer works for you. I am interested in the many
industries and situations and the interpretation of the Act.

Ontario Enhancing Enforcement to Protect Workers
Ministry of Labour Increases Proactive Employment Standards Inspections
- Issued: September 17, 2012
NEWS
Ontario will help ensure fairness in the workplace by enhancing the enforcement of the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), including the hiring of additional officers and staff.The enhanced enforcement will include more proactive inspections. These inspections encourage workplace parties to comply with the ESA before serious violations arise and complaints are filed. Complaints can be costly and time-consuming for businesses. An initial $3 million, two-year investment will allow for 18 additional Employment Standards Officers and staff.
The inspections are also aimed at educating employers and employees about their rights and responsibilities under the ESA, which sets minimum standards for entitlements such as wages, hours of work and public holidays.
The ministry is committed to protecting vulnerable workers, meeting the needs of a changing workforce and helping employers understand their responsibilities. Protecting workers is part of the McGuinty government’s continued commitment to ensuring a strong economy and that all Ontarians are treated fairly.
QUICK FACTS
- Since 2004, the ministry’s Employment Standards Program has recovered more than $90 million in wages and other monies owed to employees through inspections, claims and collections.
- The Employment Standards Information Centre (1-800-531-5551) provides service in 23 languages – from Arabic to Vietnamese.

Labour Day, Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Employees get a day off with regular pay or public holiday pay (depending on the province or territory of employment). If the employee is required to work on the holiday, the employee must be paid regular wages and get a substituted day off with pay at a later date (depending on the province or territory).
In Ontario, employees get a day off with public holiday pay. If the employee is required to work on the holiday, the employee must be paid regular wages and/or premium pay and/or get a substituted day off with pay at a later date.

Canada Day - when is YOUR Holiday?
HRNC FYI:
In Ontario, employees get a day off with public holiday pay. If the employee is required to work on the holiday, the employee must be paid regular wages and/or premium pay and/or get a substituted day off with pay at a later date.
This year, July 1 falls on a Sunday; thus the public holiday will be celebrated on Monday July 2.
Other provinces may have different guidelines. If you are dealing with employees in other locations check to be sure.
