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 Newfoundland & Labrador formula gives a stat pay of $200.00. If they also work the holiday, they get an additional $400.00 in premium pay.
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.
Paid day off in lieu within 30 days, OR an extra day's pay.
Forgetting NL's 2× working premium (most provinces use 1.5×).
The Newfoundland & Labrador Employment Standards Act applies uniformly across the province — these rules cover workers in St. John's, Mount Pearl, Corner Brook and everywhere else. Workers in federally regulated industries (banks, airlines, telecoms, federal Crown corporations) follow the federal stat pay rules regardless of city.
