Calculate your Quebec stat pay →Not every Canadian holiday is a paid stat in Quebec. Quebec does not observe Family Day, Victoria Day (replaced by National Patriots' Day), or Boxing Day as a paid statutory holiday.
These rules apply across all of Quebec including Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil — provincial labour standards don't vary by city. Federally regulated employees in these cities (banks, airlines, telecoms) follow the federal stat holiday rules instead.
All employees qualify, regardless of length of service, if they don't take an unjustified absence on the working day before or after the holiday.
Either an indemnity equal to the average daily wage OR a compensatory day off within the 3 weeks following — employer chooses.
Compensatory day off within 3 weeks before or after the holiday, OR an indemnity payment equal to your stat pay.
