Questions Frequentes
How much vacation pay do I get in Ontario?
Ontario mandates 2 weeks (4% of gross wages) for the first 5 years of employment and 3 weeks (6%) after 5 completed years with the same employer. This is the minimum; your employment contract may provide more.
Is vacation pay calculated on gross or net salary?
Vacation pay is calculated on gross wages (before deductions). It includes regular pay, overtime, commissions, and most other earnings. It does not include tips, discretionary bonuses, or expense reimbursements in most provinces.
Does vacation pay accrue during maternity leave?
In most provinces, vacation entitlement continues to accrue during statutory leaves including maternity, parental, and sick leave. However, vacation pay percentage applies only to actual wages earned, so the dollar amount may be lower for that period.
Can my employer pay out vacation instead of giving time off?
In most provinces, employers cannot force a payout in lieu of time off during active employment. You are entitled to take the actual time away from work. However, upon termination, all accrued and unused vacation pay must be paid out.
Which province has the most vacation time?
Saskatchewan offers the most statutory vacation: 3 weeks (6%) after 1 year, increasing to 4 weeks (8%) after 10 years. Most other provinces start at 2 weeks (4%) and increase to 3 weeks (6%) after 5 years.
