Calculate your statutory holiday pay in Manitoba using the official Employment Standards formula. See the Manitoba stat holiday calendar 2026 for the dates, or jump to the national stat pay calculator to compare provinces.
5% of wages earned in 4-week period before the holiday
Stat pay = 5% of total gross wages (excluding overtime) in the 4 weeks immediately before the holiday week.
Your Manitoba stat pay
$200.00
Base stat pay
$200.00
Take a worker earning $25/hour for 40 hours/week for the 4 weeks before the holiday. Total wages over the lookback period: $4000.00. Applying the Manitoba formula gives a stat pay of $200.00. If they also work the holiday, they get an additional $300.00 in premium pay.
Most employees qualify. You don't need to work the day before or after — Manitoba dropped that rule.
Stat pay PLUS 1.5× regular rate for hours worked on the holiday.
You still get the 5% calculation.
Using 'last 4 weeks' instead of '4 weeks before the holiday week' — the cutoff is the Sunday before the holiday week.
The Manitoba Employment Standards Act applies uniformly across the province — these rules cover workers in Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Thompson and everywhere else. Workers in federally regulated industries (banks, airlines, telecoms, federal Crown corporations) follow the federal stat pay rules regardless of city.
