Do You Speak Canadian? 4th Edition


The 4th edition is ready, during the 'Dog Days of Summer'

Whether you are a growing Canadian company, or a U.S. company interested in doing business in Canada, it is essential to know the language of employment. Mitigating the risk of costly litigation can often make or break the success of any business. 


LESSON 4: Vacation

Legislation will vary among provinces with regards to mandatory increases


There are 2 parts to this legislation: Vacation Time & Vacation Pay

  • Vacation Time - employees are entitled to 2 weeks’ vacation time after each 12-month vacation entitlement period 
  • Vacation Pay - must be at least 4% of the "gross" wages earned in the 12-month vacation entitlement year or stub period
  • An employee's contract of employment may provide a greater right or benefit with respect to vacation time and/or pay
  • Because there is no break in the employment relationship during a period of statutory leave, the time on leave counts toward the completion of a vacation entitlement year or stub period
For definitions and calculations, consult your specific Provincial Ministry of Labour.

UNDERSTANDING CANADIAN LANGUAGE



Bloody Caesar

It typically contains vodka, Clamato (a proprietary blend of tomato juice and clam broth), hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and is served with ice in a large, celery salt-rimmed glass, typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of lime. It remains virtually unknown outside Canada, but has inspired numerous variants.


It is claimed that over 350 million Caesars are consumed in Canada annually. Cheers, eh!
