The Christmas Holiday Closure will be effective:
Wednesday, December 24, 2014 The College will close at NOON
Monday, January 5, 2015 The College re-opens and all employees resume their regularly scheduled hours
WORKING DURING THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD:
Support staff who are scheduled by their manager to work at the College during the Christmas Holiday period, shall be eligible for time and one half pay for each hour worked in addition to their regular holiday pay.
PART-TIME SUPPORT STAFF:
To be eligible for statutory holiday pay for the three statutory holidays during the Christmas period, (Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day), part-time support staff must meet the following criteria as per the Employment Standards Act:
- have worked on their scheduled day of work preceding and following the recognized holiday period
Part-time staff who meet the above criteria and are required to work on any of the three statutory holidays are to be paid at time and one half pay for each hour worked plus statutory holiday pay. Should staff be required to work on any of the other days during the holiday period they are to be paid on a regular hourly rate basis.
Statutory holiday payments to part-time staff that work irregular hours shall be equal to the total amount of regular wages and vacation pay payable to the employee in the four work weeks before the work week in which the public holiday occurred, divided by 20.
PAYMENT PROCEDURE FOR PART-TIME STAFF:
Payment for the Christmas and Boxing Day statutory holidays will be deposited on January 9, 2015. Payment for the New Years Day statutory holiday will be deposited on January 23, 2015. Both electronic and paper timesheets for the January 9, 2015 pay deposit must be received and/or approved by December 18, 2014 (pay period December 14 to December 27, 2014).
ELECTRONIC TIMESHEETS
Do not enter time worked on a statutory holiday unless the employee actually worked the holiday. The pay owed for statutory holidays actually worked will be calculated and paid by the time management system. If you enter time on either Dec 25, 26 or Jan 1, the person will be paid for the hours worked at time and one half as well as be paid for the statutory holiday which will essentially work out to double time and one half.
PAPER TIMESHEETS
To pay part-time support staff who qualify for statutory holiday pay and work regular hours, enter the number of hours per day for Christmas and Boxing Day on a Part-time Payroll Time Sheet, (clearly identified as stat pay) and submit the Time Sheet to HR Services by December 18, 2014 (New Year’s Day to be submitted by January 12, 2015). If the employee actually worked the statutory holiday, please mark this clearly on the timesheet so Payroll will know to pay time and one half as well as stat pay.
Part-time staff paid for statutory holidays, but who fail to work on one or both qualifying days, will have their pay adjusted in the following pay cycle. The department must complete a HRIN form, stating the date and number of hours to be recovered from payroll and forward the HRIN to Elke Lee, Payroll/HR Services as soon as possible.
Special note for Appendix D
Appendix D employees will be automatically paid by payroll for the week the College is closed (paid as per the Support Staff Collective Agreement).
