Employees at Commercial Hog Barns

Employees working in commercial hog operations receive public holiday pay and 1.5 times their hourly wage rate for each hour worked on the public holiday.

If the public holiday falls on a regular day of work for the employee and the employee works it, the employee can elect by written request to receive another day off with pay on a day designated by the employer within 12 months of the public holiday. If this occurs, the employee would be paid:

  • regular wages for time worked on the public holiday; plus,
  • public holiday pay for the designated day.

Payment for the designated holiday is payable in the pay period during which the designated day occurs, or within 14 days of termination of the employee's employment, whichever comes first.
