think although it's a stat day we trade this one for an extra day off around Christmas.

Thats what I thought, until he explained that if the holiday falls on a weekend then its not a stat. Is this correct?

I wouldn't have thought so .. I'm not sure how you'd confirm that. Are the labour laws online?

I just decided to work at a steady 1% effort today. That'll teach'em.

I'm at work also. but working from home.

Joe your boss is not following Canadian Labour Laws. If a Stat falls on a week end. Either the Monday or the Friday should be given as Stat.

I'm at work... but I'm getting paid well to be here today

Not considered a stat holiday in manitoba unfortunately, so I'm at work.

Working at home. It's a normal work day for me since I'm "self-employed" so stat or no stat, doesn't matter. If there's work to be done, gotta do it.

I'm at work too... only get the stat if you work on the day...lousy shift work

In general when a stat falls on a weekend, you're given the monday. Not sure if that's in labour law or just standard practice.

I'm not working yet (have to stop in later to get some parts unloaded from a truck (arriving.... around now) assembled then readied for delivery/install tomorow. But at least it translates into getting the 27th of december off...

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.
