brag: Family Day

[Horacewinsagain]

Yeah I mean these things get kinda confusing. Here is a good case. I work for the state government as a contractor to the federal government. My office is in a federal facility and all of my supplies are owned by the federal facility. On Monday I got the day off, but many people who contract for the same state organization didn't have the day off because California as a state doesnt celebrate Columbus Day, while the Federal govt does.

Gild,

Is this just a government workers and bank holiday or are private employer required to give employees a paid day off?

private employees are required to, it's in the labour (not labor) laws

This isn't a Canadian holiday.

Not sure why this is so difficult for Americans to understand.

ONTARIO IS A PROVINCE OF CANADA

CANADA IS A COUNTRY

THIS IS A STATUTORY HOLIDAY FOR ONTARIO

THIS MEANS ALL EMPLOYERS IN ONTARIO ARE REQUIRED TO GIVE THEIR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES A PAID HOLIDAY

JESUS YOU GUYS ARE RETARDED

Gildwulf,

Wait, so you're saying this doesn't have anything to do with Canada?

Expectantly,

Gilfwulf,

So does Canada have holidays similar to other US holidays like Christmas (celebrated Dec 25) and New Year's Day (Jan 1)? Is either Celine Dion's or Shania Twain's birthday a holiday? Do Canadians eat moose on Thanksgiving instead of turkey?
