An employer and an employee, or the majority of employees, may agree to observe a public holiday on another day within four weeks of that public holiday without a permit from Employment Standards. The public holiday pay rules will apply to the day agreed to be observed as the public holiday.
This does not apply to Remembrance Day, which would require a permit.
The employer must provide each employee with a copy of the agreement and keep a copy for two years after it ceases to be in effect.
If employees are represented by a trade union, the employer and trade union can agree in writing to observe the public holiday on another day.
