Calculate your statutory holiday pay in New Brunswick using the official Employment Standards formula. See the New Brunswick stat holiday calendar 2026 for the dates, or jump to the national stat pay calculator to compare provinces.
Average daily earnings in last 30 days
Total regular earnings in the 30 days before the holiday ÷ days worked.
Your New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick formula gives a stat pay of $200.00. If they also work the holiday, they get an additional $300.00 in premium pay.
You must have been employed for 90+ days in the past 12 months AND worked your scheduled day before and after the holiday (unless excused).
Stat pay PLUS 1.5× regular rate for hours worked.
Substitute day off with pay, or extra day's pay.
Missing that the 90-day eligibility threshold is unusually long compared to other provinces.
The New Brunswick Employment Standards Act applies uniformly across the province — these rules cover workers in Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton and everywhere else. Workers in federally regulated industries (banks, airlines, telecoms, federal Crown corporations) follow the federal stat pay rules regardless of city.
