Calculate your Newfoundland & Labrador stat pay →Not every Canadian holiday is a paid stat in Newfoundland & Labrador. Newfoundland & Labrador follows its provincial Employment Standards Act — see the official source linked below for the complete list.
These rules apply across all of Newfoundland & Labrador including St. John's, Mount Pearl, Corner Brook — provincial labour standards don't vary by city. Federally regulated employees in these cities (banks, airlines, telecoms) follow the federal stat holiday rules instead.
You must have been employed at least 30 days AND worked your last regularly scheduled shift before and first after the holiday.
Stat pay PLUS 2× regular rate for hours worked — one of the highest premiums in Canada.
