Do you normally work Saturdays? If so, did you get that day off? (With regular pay).
I'm not totally up on the labour laws but it's my understanding that if a stat falls on a day you work then you either get the day off with straight time pay or you work it and get paid time and a half in addition to your regular pay. (Some people see this as double time and a half). If the stat falls on a day you don't work, such as a weekend, then you are entitled to either the Friday or the Monday as the stat. (ie: either of those days off with straight time pay, or work the day and get the extra pay). I'm pretty sure anyone that has a job is entitled to compensation one way or the other, whether they work the stat or not. I know I get 8 hours pay for every stat I don't work and compensated accordingly for every stat I do.
IMO, your getting ripped off.
Edit: Maybe it's different in Alberta, but I doubt it. You guys are rich.
